As I mentioned last month, the list of veggies to plant in July is very short.

Vegetables to plant in July for zone 8b:

• beans, lima
• eggplant
• okra
• peas, southern
• peppers
• watermelon

For me, the only one on the list not currently in the garden is southern peas.  I have never grown them,but I think I can scrounge up some garden space to try some.   I am hording garden space because August is the month to start a second summer garden here in zone 8b.  I hope everyones garden is still surviving better yet I hope it is flourishing.  Mine is a mix of these two, depending on which vegetable we are talking about.   I’m looking forward to getting a fresh start come August.
