Every gardener knows the routine, Spring hits and the nurseries are pounded with countless people buying up every seed and bags of fertilizer available. If you get a late start or happen to be out of town during the ‘first good gardening weekend’, you can be stuck with the leftovers and unable to have exactly what you want in your garden. Sometimes by the time the nurseries are back in stock, you know it is too late and you are left to suffer through the season without your produce.
But that is NOT exactly the case. I came across this great article from Colleen Vanderlinden outlining the crops that you can plant in early July and be able to enjoy before the end of the season.(here is the link to the article) She has done a great job and broken them down geographically so you can find out what plants to grow, and make your way to the nursery to get them started.
Chances are the weather is pretty warm and most fertilizers prevent you from using them during the hot months, for fear of burning. Ringer Lawn Restore is an organic fertilizer that you can use anytime during the season. Don’t let the name ‘lawn’ fool you, this produce is excellent when used in your gardens as well. This definitely is going to help me get my new seeds a jump start so i can enjoy the produce before the end of the season.
I totally agree with this blog. Just like the saying goes as long as there’s a will there will always be a way. I started my vegetable garden late but I am glad that I did.
