If you planted a garden in the early spring, June is an easy-going gardening month. It's time to harvest. If you didn't do it last month, it's time to fertilize. It's also a good time to plant seeds or put in transplants. If you didn't get started in the spring, or need to add to your garden, it's not too late.
Summer vegetables can be planted now including: corn, cucumbers, beans, leaf lettuce, okra, peppers, pumpkins, New Zealand spinach, summer and winter squash, and melons.
The year-round standards, such as beets, carrots, Swiss chard, radishes, and turnips can also go in. Eggplant, tomatoes, and peppers will do well and grow rapidly when put in as transplants this month.
Don't wait. It's not too late. Get going now.
This week we'll be planting tomatoes peppers beans and okra.
Remember, if we can do it, so can you.
