A few key points to remember when growing vegetables in June are: If you live in colder climates, some varieties of tomatoes may need to be transplanted. You can start seeds in the spring and plant them in June in warmer climates. It doesn't matter which option you choose, the most important thing for this month is watering. You can also harvest fruits and vegetables for jam making.
You should plant cucumbers, runner beans, and other vegetables in the latter part of June. Because they're climbing plants, they'll need support so make sure to use garden canes that are wigwam-shaped. Children can plant runner bean seeds as they are large enough. Once the plants begin to grow, they can be transplanted directly into pots or gardens. The young pods can be used to make fresh vegetables. To get the best flavor, pick them young and small.
You can also plant spinach as early as June It can be grown both in spring and fall, even though it is usually a spring crop. Plant your plants in June so that you can harvest them before the end of the season. For an extended growing season, you could cover them with a greenhouse or hoophouse. You can sow them even if it isn't cold. If you want to harvest them in the fall, you can transplant them to the outdoor garden in September.
Dahlias may be planted in Zones 3-8. They do well in hot areas so they're best suited for southern regions. If you live in the South you can plant them as an annual. You can save them for next season by removing them from the soil. All bean varieties will grow quickly if the soil temperature is high enough. Most beans are ready for harvest in 35-90 days. You can easily plan your fall garden.
You can plant herbs as early as June. Summer savory, rosemary, oregano and rosemary are great choices. They are perennials which means they will come back year after year. You can also plant melons as early as June. They are good for cooking and often found in the supermarkets. If you live in a cooler climate, you can plant them in summer and harvest them in fall.
A few root vegetables can be planted in June. These vegetables may be planted directly into the ground. But, it's best to wait until there is no more frost. In high mountains, the last frost may occur in June. These climates allow you to plant tomatoes, cucumbers squash, pumpkins, melon and other hardy plants in June. These can be planted in June or May if you live somewhere cold.
