Garden writer Susan Mulvihill shares tips for success in growing (and harvesting) vegetable crops during the month of July. This includes lettuce, peas, fava beans, trombone zucchini, potatoes, pole beans, corn, melons and winter squash. From Susan’s in the Garden, SusansintheGarden.com.
Hi Susan! Thanks for your videos – so helpful! We like fava beans too, but my husband was horrified at the waste when he saw me squeezing them out of their outer skins after blanching. So I decided to try skipping that and now we just eat the whole bean. I did find one recipe that called for using the whole pod too – they sliced them thinly without opening and just cooked that. I think they need to be a little immature for that to work.
I've bought several packs of bacon, and have been drooling over those orange-tinged green tomatoes (not quite ripe yet).
Really great tips!! Thank you so much.
Great video, Susan. I learn something every time I watch one. Thank you!
Will be looking out for more content like this. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Susan, if you like the 'Trombetta d'Albenga' you have to try the zucchini 'Romanesco', the taste is so delicious. And please try the fava beans as a salat, cook them and mix it with tomatoes, onions, salt, pepper, olive oil and a bit of lemon juice.
Love your garden. Blessings from Germany.
Hi Susan I need some advice I live in north Spokane. And my question is earlier this spring I build a raised bed that got alot of sun throughout the day. The bed currently doesn't have anything planted in it. However as the sun progresses that same raised bed now only gets about 5 hours of full sun a day. What do you recommend I grow in this bed. I would move it but I don't have alot of land so that's not an option.
Trying for the first time growing watermelon here in Denver. Will consider your tips. Peace.
I didnt know about the trick with the melons. I'll need to do that! Thank you for sharing
BRILLIANT TIPS! Thank you.
Beautiful surroundings thanks for sharing Entertaining views here
Love your video's and love the tip on the melons….. I never knew that, but it makes perfect sense.
I'm new to gardening, learning so much from you, many thanks 🙂
Very useful thank you! I had no idea about the melon thing. I've got some cantaloupes that are taken forever to ripen and that's probably why.
