June

June is a bustling month in the garden. With summer in full swing, now is the time to make sure you're getting the most out of your outdoor space. From herbs to vegetables to flowers, here's what you can start planting this month:


Start Indoors

Late Summer Salad Greens

As your early spring salad greens begin to bolt, start a new batch of seeds indoors for transplanting later. This will provide a continuous harvest of fresh greens into the late summer.

Broccoli & Cabbage

Start winter broccoli and cabbage indoors now. They'll be ready to transplant out in the autumn for a winter harvest.


Sow Outdoors

Successional Sowing

Keep sowing fast-growing crops like radishes, lettuce, and other salad greens for a continuous harvest throughout the summer.

Beans 

If you didn't sow beans in May, there's still time to get them in the ground in early June. Pole beans and bush beans will both produce a great summer crop.

Carrots and Beets

Continue sowing root crops like carrots and beets. They can be sown in succession for a continuous harvest.

Herbs

Hardy herbs such as chives, dill, and cilantro can still be sown directly outdoors.

Summer Bulbs

It's your last chance to plant summer-flowering bulbs. If you haven't done so yet, get them in the ground early this month.


Remember, all gardening activities in June are dependent on the climate and weather conditions in your specific area. Always seek local advice if you're unsure, as your local garden centers or agricultural extension services can provide specific guidance.
