Listen up, Sprinkler Head. Just because your garden feels like a frying pan doesn't mean the planting party is over. July might have you questioning your life choices (and your sweat glands), but it’s actually prime time for planning your late summer and fall garden crops. While the early tomatoes are taking their final bow, you still have time to sneak in a second act. Think heat-loving quick growers like bush beans, cucumbers, and zucchini. And if you start your fall faves like kale, carrots, and broccoli by the end of the month, you’ll be harvesting like a hero by October.
Now, let’s talk irrigation. Planting without a solid watering plan in July is like jumping into a sauna with a wool sweater. Your new seedlings and transplants need consistent, deep watering to push those roots down where the soil stays cooler and moister. Skip the shallow daily sprinkles. Go for longer, infrequent soaks in the early morning when the sun isn’t trying to cook your cucumbers. Your plants (and your water bill) will thank you.
This is also the moment to ask yourself, “Is my irrigation system actually doing its job, or is it just dramatically spraying the driveway?” Check your drip lines, unclog emitters, and upgrade your outdated timer. Want to make it easy? Cheap Sprinklers is having a hot summer sale on all the gear you need—from timers and drip kits to weather sensors and replacement parts. Don’t let leaky lines ruin your late-season dreams. Fix it now and grow strong into fall.
So don’t hang up your gardening gloves just yet, Sprinkler Head. July is your gateway to a garden comeback, and with the right crops and smart watering, you’ll stay ahead of the heat. Plant smart, water smarter, and stock up at Cheap Sprinklers before your hose bursts out of protest.
