Late Summer Garden: 21 Heat-loving Seeds That Will Grow Fast

You might worry that you waited too late to start a garden. Fortunately, you can still plant these 21 heat-loving seeds in the second half of the summer.
The seeds will germinate quickly in the warm soil.

Although these plants are not super heat-tolerant, they will be young and resilient in the early days, growing larger as the sunlight gets shorter each week. The key to success? Keeping them well-watered, and finding a spot that gets a little bit of shade to protect them from the late afternoon sunshine.

If you plant these vegetables and herbs as a second rotation of the season, remove all weeds and amend with compost before you plant these seeds.

If you live in a hot or arid region, check with your local county agricultural extension office to see if these late-summer seeds will do well in your specific area. They are best suited to moderate to cool growing zones.
