Starting in July: lovely in the sun πŸŽ‰

July is a lovely month in the Makkelijke Moestuin. A great time to start too.

You can start from February until November

It doesn't matter much when you start precisely. Because if you set up a Planty Garden now, you're also doing that for next year. And the years after that.

Setting up a Planty garden box is something you only have to do once. Then you'll have endless fun: season after season and year after year.

Shouldn't you set up a vegetable garden in March?

That's true for a traditional vegetable garden. There you first have to dig up a piece of land, clear it of weeds, fertilize it ... and do it all over again every year. Such a mega task is too much work for a few months of cultivation, so you usually start in March.

But since you set up a Planty Garden in no time, it doesn't matter when you start. You're preparing it for this year and for the years to come. As long as there is something to sow πŸ˜‹

Why starting in July is so much fun

  • In July you can sow plenty: from lettuce to endive, from bok choi to beets. For 18 of our 43 seed varieties, now is the right time.
  • Everything you sow now comes up super fast, and before you know it your vegetable garden is full of beautiful little plants.
  • Some vegetables grow so quickly - like French radishes, arugola, and lettuce - that you can harvest your first salads within a month.

Like Karin on June 26:
I'm a complete beginner without green fingers, and I love this! Everything grows and blooms, and it actually works. Delicious food, partly thanks to the app. Really easy, and what a harvest. So if you're still unsure: just do it!
