July vegetables: your vegetable garden

Provide shelter and shelter for your vegetables as they mature or develop. Concretely, this involves a few gardening tasks in July:

• A regular hoeing to control the development of unwanted weeds;

Water at the base of the plants and not on the foliage: some plants are sensitive to downy mildew or other fungal diseases. Also break the crust formed by possible drought, in order to promote better impregnation of water. Mulching is also very useful;
• Hilling up certain plants : hilling beans as soon as the first leaves appear, as well as potatoes;
• Pruning tomato, cucumber, pumpkin and pumpkin plants. Also check the stakes of the tomato plants, which will sometimes bear heavy fruit, like the Brandywine Yellow tomato. Pinch the greedy ones as soon as they appear;
• Incise your artichokes : incise the peduncle about ten cm below the flower, when it reaches approximately 5 cm in diameter. You will get large, tender artichokes.
