Successional success
Once again
you can make a number of sowings to provide vegetables after the ones raised
from earlier sowings.
Lettuces, spinach and turnips are best in a partially
shaded position as a lot of summer heat makes them run to seed. Sow endive
towards the end of the month. Grow courgettes, bush marrows French and runner
beans from seed if you haven’t grown them in the greenhouse or frame.

Plant
tomatoes and other tender crops in the greenhouse, if you do have one. It’s too
late to grow tomatoes from seed but you can buy plants from the garden centre.
Sow sweet corn mid month as well as Chinese cabbage and chicory. Sow peas.
