Sowing San Antonio

Southern Peas

What can I plant in San Antonio or Austin in the middle of June? Glad you asked.

Right now you can plant- cantaloupe, warm season greens, okra, southern peas (black eyed peas), sweet potato slips, and pumpkins!

It is a great time to pop in some pumpkin seeds to have pumpkins for Halloween! Put them in the front yard for all your Trick or Treatin fun.

Even if you don't love to eat black eyed peas- you can plant them to add more nitrogen to your soil for fall. They are a great cover crop. It is about to get crazy hot and there is not much you can plant in July so take some time to pop in some plants now!

One thing you can plant in July is tomato transplants. Read the previous post to find out how to make your own for free!

Best of luck hot summer gardeners! You can grow your own food!
