June is a time for harvesting in the vegetable garden. But if you think the time of sowing and planting is over: think again! If you want to harvest fresh produce all year round, you must sow and plant continually. To get an overview of what to do in your garden, I’ve prepared a list of vegetables to sow and plant in June.

General garden tasks in June

Mulch all plants larger than 10 cm / 4 inches. Mulching means you cover the soil with organic material like grass clippings, leaves, straw or wood chips. By mulching, you make sure that less water evaporates. Additionally, mulch suppresses weeds and thus your “weeding time” will be reduced considerably 🙂

Harvest whatever is ready in your garden. June is also the perfect time to harvest and dry herbs for later use.

Fertilise strong uptakers like cabbage plants, tomatoes, pumpkins and zucchini that were planted in May. Ideally, you have given them basic fertilisation when you planted them. Now it’s time for maintenance fertilisation. For that purpose, you can either use fertiliser from animals, fertiliser from plants or even fertiliser from humans.
