Monty Don advises gardeners to focus on planting crops for autumn, with lettuce as the top recommendation due to quick germination and reliable yields. He recommends starting seeds in plug trays to protect them from pests, then transplanting them in August with adequate spacing to encourage strong growth. Gradual acclimatisation, consistent soil moisture, and shaded sowing locations in hot areas are highlighted as important factors. He warns gardeners to pay attention to decreasing daylight hours and to stagger planting rather than sowing all at once. Parsley and raspberries are also suggested as suitable July planting options.
