What to Plant in Your Garden in June
June is a great time to plant a variety of vegetables and flowers in your garden. The soil has warmed up, the days are long, and the risk of frost has passed in most regions. Here's what you can plant in June to enjoy a bountiful harvest or beautiful blooms.
Vegetables
You can plant warm-season crops like corn, cucumbers, beans, and summer squash. If you live in a region with a long growing season, you can also plant tomatoes and peppers. Don't forget about fast-growing crops like radishes and salad greens that can be planted throughout the summer.
Herbs
Herbs like basil, dill, cilantro, and parsley can be planted in June. They prefer warm weather and will grow quickly. Plant them in pots or directly in the garden.
Flowers
Many annual flowers can be planted in June. Consider marigolds, zinnias, sunflowers, and cosmos for colorful summer blooms. This is also a good time to plant perennials. They may not bloom this year, but they will establish their roots and bloom in future years.
Remember
Remember that plants started in June will need regular watering, especially during hot, dry spells. Keep an eye on your garden and make sure your plants are getting the water they need to grow and thrive.
