Gardener’s To-Do List for July

July To-Do List for Zone 5

• Reseed dill and cilantro every few weeks for continuous harvest and to attract beneficials with blooms.
• Sow autumn peas; presoak seeds for a faster start.
• Harvest summer squash and cukes while they're still young and tender.
• Start seeds of Shasta daisies in a coldframe, where they'll overwinter until large enough to plant next spring.
• Harvest vegetables and flowers in the cool of the morning.
• Shear back tired-looking impatiens and petunias by half, then boost their regrowth by feeding with fish emulsion.
