Despite the heat, now is the perfect time to start focusing on your fall plantings! Here in Northern Illinois, July is an ideal month to get certain plants in the ground to ensure a bountiful and beautiful fall garden.

Here are some great options to plant in July:

🍃 Leafy Greens: Lettuce, spinach, and kale thrive in the cooler fall weather. Planting now will give them plenty of time to grow.

🥕 Root Vegetables: Beets, carrots, and radishes can be planted in July for a delicious fall harvest.

🌿 Herbs: Cilantro, parsley, and dill are perfect for a late summer planting to enjoy fresh flavors in your fall dishes.

🌽 Brassicas: Broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts will benefit from a July planting, giving them ample time to mature before the first frost.

Take advantage of the summer warmth to establish these plants, and you'll be rewarded with a vibrant and productive garden come fall. Happy planting!

Wishing everyone a safe and joyful 4th of July! 🎆🇺🇸

Food forests aren't just beautiful; they're powerhouses for the planet! They support biodiversity, conserve water, and build healthy soil. Ready to dig in and create your own?

Biodiversity:
- Food forests provide habitat for a wide variety of plants and animals, including pollinators, birds, and beneficial insects.
- This diversity helps to create a more resilient ecosystem that can withstand disturbances.

Water Conservation:
- Food forests can help to conserve water by filtering rainwater and reducing runoff.
- They also help to improve soil quality, which can help to retain water more effectively.

Healthy Soil:
- Food forests help to build healthy soil by adding organic matter and promoting the growth of beneficial microbes.
- This healthy soil helps to support plant growth and improve crop yields.

Other Benefits:
- Food forests can also help to reduce air pollution and provide food and income for local communities.
- They can also be a beautiful and inspiring addition to any landscape.
