What to sow in July in the UK

In July you can sow beetroot, cabbage, carrots, collard greens, coriander, dill, kohlrabi, lettuce, parsley, radishes, rocket, rosemary and more. Sow tender crops under cover and hardy crops outdoors once the soil is workable.

July harvests in the UK include aubergine, basil, beetroot, broad beans, broccoli, cabbage, cantaloupe melon, carrots, coriander, courgettes, cucumbers, dill and more, depending on your sowing dates and region.

In July, hardy crops can usually go outdoors across most of the UK, but wait until after the last frost (around mid-May, later in the north) for anything tender. Use a cloche or fleece to start earlier.
