In July, everything is already growing and blooming in the garden. However, in order for the plants to continue to develop, they need to be fed and watered on time.

In early July, the garlic may be ready to be dug up. Therefore, it should be dug up without cutting off the tops, tied together in small bunches and hung to dry in the attic so that there is a good draft.

Onions are stopped from being watered approximately three weeks before harvesting.

The top leaves of the cauliflower should be broken off and the inflorescences should be protected from the sun.

At the end of July, sorrel, rhubarb, and perennial onions are sown.

Water the potato bushes if there has been no rain for a long time.

The tops of tall tomatoes are pinched.

In July, tomatoes and cucumbers begin to bear fruit. Therefore, they need to be fed with complex preparations that should include phosphorus and potassium.

Beets and carrots are thinned out. The distance between plants should be at least 4-12 cm, and then they are fed with wood ash to increase sugar.

You can also feed the plants with calcium sulfate, 1 gram per 10 liters of water, or an ash infusion 1:10.

Pumpkin vines should be shortened above the 3rd leaf after the ovary, and side vines without fruits should be cut out altogether. One plant can only feed three ovaries.

Also, frequent and abundant watering of plants in the garden is carried out.

Regularly feed cucumbers and tomatoes with a solution of wood ash, 70 grams per 1 liter of water, or cow infusion in water 1:10.
