Leafy greens and root vegetables such as beetroot, carrot, and radish, are happy to find a home in the garden at any time of the year, but these plants below are perfect for planting in summer.  Are you reading for your Summer planting?

Need some Bulk planting tips?  –  Press the bulbs into the soil, not too deep – about twice the height of the bulbs will do. Place the bulbs with the pointy-end up and with the roots down, have no idea which way is up? I suggest planting them sideways, cause at least then you are half right.  Always choose bulbs that are plump and firm.  Choose the right spot to plant … Some bulbs require full sun — at least six hours of direct sunlight per day — while others need shade, so make sure you read your labels and know the best spot for planting your summer bulbs.
