By mid-summer, the early cabbage harvest is usually complete.

The fact is that early ripening varieties of the above-mentioned garden crop are fully formed at the end of the first or at the very beginning of the second summer month.

What to plant in the vacated garden bed? This is a question many summer residents ask themselves.

An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh reminds: it is advisable to choose a crop that demonstrates fairly rapid growth.

And this is understandable: the plant needs to have time to fully form before the end of the current summer cottage season.

Ideal "successor" for early cabbage in July

Dill is the plant that should be planted in mid-summer in the place where cabbage grew in the first half of the season.

The thing is that greens are "undemanding" and unpretentious. In addition, they grow very quickly: the summer resident will have time to get a harvest.

In other words, when planting dill, the freed space will be used as correctly as possible.

But it is not worth planting radishes and turnips in the place that was vacated after the harvest of early cabbage. The fact is that the crops differ in vulnerability to the same pests.
