What to Grow in July

Hi Gardeners!  Many of you have been asking me what you can still plant and grow in your garden in the month of July.  It’s not too late to grow a variety of vegetables, herbs, and flowers.  There are many choices, it may be hard to choose what to grow in an empty spot in your plot.  When choosing starter plants or seeds, simply check the DAYS TO MATURITY to make sure that you have enough days left in the season to grow the variety you are growing.  Keep in mind that the Community Garden is typically open until mid-October.
