Mint, radishes, and arugula can be planted in July and can be harvested by August. Mint should be kept in a container due to its invasive nature, and pre-sprouted varieties are recommended. Radishes can thrive in midsummer with adequate water and soil, and they should be planted in a suitable container. Arugula seeds need to be sewn directly into the soil and can grow well in July with proper care, despite its preference for spring planting.
Mint is an herb that pays for itself all season long. Keep it in a container, because it can become invasive and is challenging to get rid of. Pre-sprouted varieties like chocolate mint and pineapple mint are recommended for unique flavors in cooking.
Radishes are forgiving and can be planted in midsummer. Quick-growing varieties like breakfast radishes or salad radishes thrive with ample water and healthy soil. Containers should be deep enough for growth and can be repositioned to avoid direct sunlight.
Peppery arugula doesn’t transplant well; sewing seeds directly into the soil is essential. It can be planted as early as spring but will still thrive in July with the right care.
These three crops—mint, radishes, and arugula—are suitable for container gardening and can be planted in July to harvest by August, even without extensive garden space.
