July planted kale from either starts or seeds will yield a great fall and even winter crop. You will want to wait to harvest this planting of kale until the fall really settles in and you have had 2 or 3 frosty nights. The frost will help sweeten the kale and improve its taste. But if you want fall kale, you need to get it planted now! Learn why growing Kale in the fall is better! Summer varieties of lettuce will do great in July and August and seeds can be planted directly in the garden.
Just be sure to keep the seeds moist till they germinate and get established. Most summer lettuce varieties resist bolting and tip burn.

Be sure to plant some fall peas, either snow peas or shelling peas.
These need to go in around July 15th and will be ready in mid-October. I have found that snow peas do particularly well in the fall. If you get your peas planted in mid-July you can have a decent harvest in late fall.
Learn more about growing peas in the fall including when to plant in your area by following this link! Green beans have a surprisingly short growing time. This is particularly true of the bush varieties. Many varieties of bush beans have a maturity date of only 60 to 70 days.

Quite a space was empty because the seeds just never came up. We just planted some six week green beans -they are ready in six weeks. Just exactly what we have left. So many people just give up this time of year when there is so much they could still be planting!!
Mine too in Alberta Canada — starting over and planting this week going to be a hot one!!! On the green beans, I lean heavily on Blue Lake pole beans. They simply never stop producing until frost, unlike so many others. I often plant stuff late. Steve, I agree. We love Blue Lake Pole. They have about a 15 day shorter maturity date which means i can squeeze a final planting in about mid July and still get a harvest by my October 1st frost date.
I know it sounds really odd but I remember when I was young, my parents planted sweet corn on the 4th of July! There are several varieties of sweet corn that have a 60 to 70 day maturity date so you could squeeze them in.

As soon as one crop is finished, clean out old crops from the bed or container , amend the soil, and plant fresh seeds or seedlings. Unlike spring planting where cool temperatures and ample moisture help crops settle in quickly, summer weather can be a challenge for a succession planter. However, there are several ways to get around dry soil and soaring temperatures.
Here are a few of our best tips to get you started in summer succession planting. No space in your garden for more vegetables? Consider succession planting edibles in containers as many crops take well to pots, planters, and window boxes.
In fact, when the heat of July and August causes cool-weather vegetables, like spinach, arugula, and mustard, to bolt, planting in pots in semi-shade can yield a high-quality crop. And those fruits! For the highest quality crop, harvest when the fruits are five to seven inches long. Craving savory collard greens?
Try growing your own with Bulldog, a vigorous variety with quick growth and blue-green leaves. Unlike many varieties, Bulldog is bolt-resistant for summer growing, but also cold-tolerant for fall and winter harvesting. Direct seed in the garden or give the plants a head-start indoors under grow lights, moving them to the garden about 50 days before the first expected fall frost. This summer to fall type of broccoli is ideal for summer succession planting, with the large, semi-domed heads ready to harvest about two months from transplanting.
As with collards, the seeds can be direct-seeded or started indoors, and moved into the garden after three to four weeks. The harvest begins in early to mid-autumn and, with protection, can extend into winter. This gourmet broccoli also thrives in the cool weather of spring or fall and can be seeded now for a fall crop. Unlike traditional broccoli, which forms a large, central head, Aspabroc is a broccolini-type that produces a generous harvest of small side-shoots, perfect for stir-fries, roasting, dipping, or steaming.
