Freedom Foodscapes

Despite the heat, now is the perfect time to start focusing on your fall plantings! Here in Northern Illinois, July is an ideal month to get certain plants in the ground to ensure a bountiful and beautiful fall garden.

Here are some great options to plant in July:

🍃 Leafy Greens: Lettuce, spinach, and kale thrive in the cooler fall weather. Planting now will give them plenty of time to grow.

🥕 Root Vegetables: Beets, carrots, and radishes can be planted in July for a delicious fall harvest.

🌿 Herbs: Cilantro, parsley, and dill are perfect for a late summer planting to enjoy fresh flavors in your fall dishes.

🌽 Brassicas: Broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts will benefit from a July planting, giving them ample time to mature before the first frost.

Take advantage of the summer warmth to establish these plants, and you'll be rewarded with a vibrant and productive garden come fall. Happy planting!

Wishing everyone a safe and joyful 4th of July! 🎆🇺🇸
