@nettlesandpetals: Seeds to Sow in June - Just Keep Sowing! 🫘🌱😊 The weather this growing season here in the UK has been less than ideal so far! Here in North Yorkshire we’ve late frost, followed by long dry spells and now strong winds and rain for the foreseeable! 😕 and the vegetable garden is suffering a little. 🌱☀️👀 But the season is far from over and there are still plenty of things we can sow in June! 😊🌱 June is a great month to sow some parsnips! They take a while to germinate, so I sow mine between other crops that will finish before the parsnips are big enough to need the space. I will also follow this method when sowing more carrots for a nice crop in autumn. 🥕 If you haven’t already, there’s still time to sow winter squash, just pop the seeds into some compost on their side and before you know it you’ll have a squash plant which you can plant out, producing lots of squash you can store over winter. 🌱 Summer bean varieties can still be sown now too, you can either direct sow them wherever you want them to grow or sow them into a seed tray, plants grow fast and you’ll be pulling pods in no time. 🫘 I also sow another succession of courgettes and cucumbers to prolong harvests as they’re quite short lived crops. Just pop seeds into a pot of compost, this time of the year they will germinate quickly, then just plant them out and harvest. 🥒 I sow lots of kale in June, into seed trays and then transplant them out, for harvests throughout autumn and into winter. 🌿 After the solstice I start to sow Kohlrabi and Fennel again that grow well in early spring and autumn but are prone to bolting if growing in summer. I continue sowing successions of herbs like basil, coriander and dill throughout June, straight into pots or a growing bed, they grow quickly at this time of the year and are great companions for many other crops. 🌱 And finally I sow some coreopsis for natural dyeing later on in the year. 🌼 So what will you be sowing in June? 😊🌱 #gardeningtips #growyourownfood #sowingseeds #vegetablegarden
