What Can I Plant in June in the Vegetable Garden?

What can I still plant in my garden in June, you ask? A LOT!!
I share what I'm planting in my Zone 6a, Ohio garden in the month of June as well as a great tool for figuring when & what you can plant in your garden.

We had frost yesterday! Southern Alberta, Canada. Unusual weather this year for this region.

I really like that you don’t shy away from your failures or timeliness issues and address them head on. It’s encouraging to a nascent gardener to know that it happens to everyone.

You then go on to address workarounds. A lot of YouTubers don’t do that, but that’s the best part!

I have a life happens situation 😂 I live in Lower Michigan in zone 6a. I'm just finishing up getting in my heat loving, plants and seeds, as well as a ton of flowers. So excited to see how my 26x40, 10x20 and my above ground beds and pots do. I'm crazy busy with life.. . So much to do and not enough time 😂

[kevenweaver]

I'm definitely in the life happens schedule😂 My son was born in March and I have been scrambling to sow, transplant, prune, trellis, build new beds, fertilize, and water everything to my own expectations.

I am glad it's not just me (that is behind on my planting.) 😂 I farm sustainably in Zone 6b in the Finger Lakes. Still transplanting tomatoes, peppers, planting potatoes, beans, etc. Happy planting!

Where I live (Zone 4 - 6200') we never plant before June 1st. Learned that lesson the hard way, multiple times.

I enjoy your channel so much! You have a cheerful, confident, and sincere way of speaking to your viewers and I always learn a ton! Thank you!

Jenna, I just admire how you encourage not only me, but so many others! I started to take gardening very serious this year ! I went from two beds to ten. I live in Colorado and it seems that your zone is the only one that’s comparable to mine. I am usually overwhelmed when watching other gardeners who are harvesting when I still haven’t started to plant. Thank you for your humility and for letting us know that it’s ok when things don’t go as we planned!
Happy Gardening!

Almost half my garden is still weeds and beds waiting to be constructed. The other half is divided into stuff I was ready to plant in beds that were prepared for last fall and this spring, and a new area for my tomatoes that was well intentioned but in practice was a disaster and my tomatoes are suffering for it. Oh well. Hopefully I can catch up after this heat wave.

❤ I’m pulling the last garlic Tuesday, flipping that bed to squash and excited that my broccoli for over wintering popped up in cells. I love watching your ‘what to plant’ by month since we’re in same growing zone. I have eggplant flowers! So excited!😊

I have 146 plants I started indoor I have most of them in the garden, and some in grow bags and pots, I started a second set of plants for a next harvest late season, and made a greenhouse from a old carport to extend my season!

We're a little bit north of you here in Ohio and spring/summer is always a balancing act. Dodging weather, dodging work to go have fun, and guilt dragging us back to plant whatever new berry bushes, plants, and trees are waiting for our attention.

Focusing on trying more things we don't see in are local farmers markets.

Honeyberrys, elderberries, jostaberries, figs, maypops, cucamelons, celeriac, etc.

Went a little crazy with the melons this year along with beans and sugar snap peas.

This year the choice was putting up a deer fence or starting the veggie seeds and planting a spring/summer garden. So the garden was postponed. But we are in NC zone 8a and have plenty of planting time. Tomato plants from my generous neighbor is a bonus and our green beans sprouted in 3 days!!! Just taking it one hot day at a time. Happy planting

Dealing with cutworms in my raised bed, so have some starts to still try. I have used diatomaceous, egg shells, baking soda, 😢I've never been so far behind. This gives me hope jenna, thanks!

[francestaylor]

Thank you for this. We have similar frost dates and I don't feel as bad that I'm "behind." Very encouraging.

[amandadunville]

Just transplanted my 5 tomato plants and planted pole beans. I was thinking to plant more cucumbers in a week because they haven’t really produced enough. In Southern Indiana 7a, and this just helped me relax about everything being so far behind.

[infamos]

Running behind but the weather has been bad in England so Ive waited, established plants will grow faster and produce in the right conditions

Just planted potatoes and eggplants about 6 inches tall today where my spinach was before it bolted from the heat. My broccoli is about to be taken down to make room for some peas. My cilantro is starting to seed so I'll find something else to go where they are in July, possibly some garlic for next year. I'm harvesting broccoli, green beans, cilantro, basil, garlic, rosemary, parsley, strawberries, and lemon thyme already and tomatoes and peppers are covered in flowers with some small peppers already forming. My corn is shoulder high on me and I'm 6'. Onions, shallots, fennel, dill, carrots, bush cucumbers, blackberries, , potatoes, , and flowers are all about half way there. I will wait for fall to do most of my peas, radishes, and lettuce with another round of spinach. So far it's been a strange weather year but my garden is far ahead of most since I managed to keep it all alive since an early May planting.

I was able to get cold hardy crops in early this year (early April - Zone 5). I've been harvesting lettuces, spinach, garlic scapes, sugar snap peas, snow peas, several kinds of brassicas, etc. and perennial herbs. Blossoms abound in the gardens, and it appears the berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, cranberries, and logan berries) will all have bumper crops this year. 😊Now I just have to nurse it all through a heat wave of temps pushing 100 degrees! ☀ In New Hampshire! (rare)

I was just saying to myself 🤔 I wonder what I can plant in June. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
