If ornamentals are more your thing then June is a great time to start sowing Biennials for flowers next spring and early summer. Wallflowers, Sweet William, Canterbury Bells, Foxgloves, Sweet Rocket, Honesty can all be grown on in pots over the summer and planted out in early October once the summer annuals are finished.
I'm from Northern Ireland, but spent the summer living in Wildwood, NJ in 2007. I've also been to Atlantic City and flown into Newark several times. Would love to visit more of 'small town' New Jersey, off the beaten track.
Successive planting of lettuces! I do the same with peas, weekly throughout June, July and August. Summer beans such as French beans, runner beans, and drying beans such as Greek gigante and belotti beans. She pointed out protecting new sowings of pak choi, spinach and other tender plants by sowing in a shadier bed.
For sweetcorn, i do both, presoak and not, but for 1st planting it gets planted after a 2-3 week area that was heated under plastic, it gets a huge jump, corn likes warm soil.
Your enthusiasm for planting veg is infectious... and erm i don't really like much veg yet ive planted some, it grew and ive eaten it and it was nice... your fault!
It was perfect planting weather today. Cool and overcast. My entire conservatory has been covered with plants. Today I planted out flowers. It was so satisfying. They are so much bigger than normal. I can see my dinning room table again! It will be nice to direct sow on the allotment. I am going to follow your list. Thanks Jessica.
:D I tried to write one for myself before but it was all so weather dependant i had to keep shuffling things around! I might try to put together an 'adjustable' one or something!
Thank you for being so encouraging. My mother-in-law keeps saying how she has been eating potatoes and peas for some weeks now. I look at my garden, it makes me feel a failure. You have picked me up as by the end of this month, early July vegetables should come good. Thank you!!!
different gardening here in Indiana...large plots of canning veggies...eat a bit of fresh but it’s sooo good all year from the jar when done right...I actually plant green beans on Aug 2nd for my late crop and they thrive
Excellent video and seed selection for sowing in June Jessie to continue producing crops. It's great that we're getting sunshine and that we can get out in our allotments/gardens 👍
🤩 you are acting as my to do prompt list as in Cheshire we are a few weeks behind you weather wise. Busy week ahead and time to order a floppy sun hat 🌞🌞
Just started watching your videos. I love gardening too. It’s so nice to be able to add greatly to our food sources. Watching things grow and mature always fascinates us. We raise all sorts of veggies. God bless you young lady. (Old guy from Arkansas)🇺🇸
Welcome to the veg gardener club! Lots of great tips online. The best new thing I've learned online is about companion planting. For example, marigolds and courgettes with tomatoes.
Learning what grows well in the So. California heat. Enjoying summer squash, lettuces, green beans, Swiss chard. Loved my spinach. That's now on hold til fall.
Really helpful video…first time you’ve come up on my feed, and I’ve subscribed! Didn’t realise most of what you mentioned can be resown in June. Hooray!
i sowed some Cavalo Nero Kale in January & kept them on a window cill above a radiator they got to about 3" in height then keeled over , yours are doing really well
I have to get wiggle on as I've not even cut the lawns yet this year mixture of weather other jobs and health love your enthusiasm and your my type of gardener partly planned partly on the hoof
In my first serious year of gardening in Bulgaria at 550m (1800ft) altitude, good for potatoes,beans peas, apples and just did second sowing yesterday June 25 and same here the peas and beans in a slightly shady area because we get a lot of sun July/Aug, Pak Choi and spinach tend to bolt so Im going to try end Aug sowing.
Jess that was interesting red peas and full sun, I will remember that for planting when it’s time here as I did put my pots in full sun position for last summer, new gardener Jess this is the info which is so useful for new growers. We had a chap here who did a similar on tv and radio he’s now I think 90 and no longer on tv but, the tv program still popular and does include a week by week bit but much less info. I really miss him as it always worked as a reminder even though I wasn’t growing veggies back then.
Ah, what was his name, do you remember? I might see if i can find him. I remember years ago we had a cable-tv program (back when cable tv was a bit of a novelty) that was a woman just doing stuff in a vegetable garden and it was amazing but i only have the vaguest memory of it and nobody else seems to have a clue what i'm talking about! I'd be interested to look up your chap!
This is perfect video I have got a good amount started this year but got really put off with the weather so didn’t succession sow what I’d planned too. But now I feel ready to get back on top on things again
😂😂😂 I was really listening but I could stop watch Lily she moved I think once the entire time you were talking. My garden is so full right now (pics on Instagram) so don’t have a lot of room for second showings but I will start some seeds in perhaps July/Aug. as always thanks for sharing ✌️🇨🇦🐝 safe all
Yes, everything is busy now - I have my own allotment to look after and also I work for a charity part time on an allotment site in Bury where I tutor a small group of adults with learning difficulties - not to mention having to mow, etc in my own gardens at home.
Best supporting Actress goes to Lily, the allotment cat. Great info Jess! I planted my lettuces and spinach inside waaaay too early then transplanted into my beds. They are massive and beginning to bolt. I can’t eat them fast enough. My radish and onions are coming along, and tomatoes. Can’t wait to have that first Sungold tomato. Good repurposing on the reused shoebox for seed storage. See you Tuesday, have a grand weekend. Congratulations on 10K! 👍🏻🌺🌸🌼🥬🥦🌶🧅🥒🍅
Hahaha, Lily is really getting into this vlogging thing. :D It was really hard with timing this spring wasn't it? last year it wouldn't have been too early! And thanks on the 10K :D
Your allotment's looking fab Jessie, my peas are a wee bit behind (but we're in Ireland and both April and May were sh*te! Forgive the language please) and every leafy green I planted bolted like mad so I'll be resowing just about everything I can. I put my pumpkins out last week and a little slug damage aside, they're hanging in there and growing. Worst of the slug damage was to the runner beans. I think they thought I'd planted them an allyoucaneat buffet!:/ Also sowing fennel, I drink fennal tea so thought I'd give making my own a go. Thanks for making great, informative, down to earth videos. :)
Thanks Trish! Gah, the slugs!! We saw nothing of them up until may here (it was too dry, too cold) but now... holy smoke. they are scoffing everything. I'm planting my beans out today so wish me luck!
@@JessieatPlot37 Good luck! I resorted to organic slug pellets round mine but every morning there's a new set of (many!) slug trails around the base of each plant. Beans seem to be slug haute cuisine. Wee buggers! The good news is, of course, the taller they get the less damage the slugs can do so fingers crossed :D
Thanks for top tips for June planting. Making a mental note. One question what tricks do you use to keep slugs and snails at bay? I've tried beer traps, I've tried covering young shoots with inverted empty yogurt pots, picking the slugs and snails when I find them, but they keep beating me as I can't be out in the garden 24/7.
Why do you use space to grow borlotti beans if you’re a bit short on space? Can you taste the difference between them & bought ones? I’ve never tried (yet) That’s my criteria! And expensive veg I try to go for!
If ornamentals are more your thing then June is a great time to start sowing Biennials for flowers next spring and early summer.

Wonderful tip. Thank you!
Thank you
@Jim Randolph 😎
You deserve a "The Loveliest Plot's Gardener" Medal from London's Mayor 🏅🌱😁
agreed!
:D thanks Jorge. lol
Hahah!
If your keeping track, your videos are making it here in The States. I'm in a lil' place on the East Coast in New Jersey, called Toms River.
I’m in Philadelphia!!
I lived in Bayville
I'm from Northern Ireland, but spent the summer living in Wildwood, NJ in 2007. I've also been to Atlantic City and flown into Newark several times. Would love to visit more of 'small town' New Jersey, off the beaten track.
Hello from Florida
Connecticut :)
Hi jess my husband & i love watching you & your mum we get so many tips from you xx
I love looking at seeds, i dont think ill ever have enough lol i think i have years and years worth of seeds but always look for more lol
We all need to be growing stay safe everyone

Summer beans such as French beans, runner beans, and drying beans such as Greek gigante and belotti beans. She pointed out protecting new sowings of pak choi, spinach and other tender plants by sowing in a shadier bed.
In my small garden I’ve no space to sowing more than one lots of every seed but I don’t care I just love being outside
Absolutely! One lot of each just makes them more special!
Love the cat laying in the sun behind you.😸
As I think back to the "Old Days" of Grandother's stories, I recall as a young one all these great informative tips.
Thank you, 👏🏼💜
For sweetcorn, i do both, presoak and not, but for 1st planting it gets planted after a 2-3 week area that was heated under plastic, it gets a huge jump, corn likes warm soil.

Don't like veg?! lol. :D Thats a kind of blame i'm happy to take!

I can see my dinning room table again! It will be nice to direct sow on the allotment. I am going to follow your list. Thanks Jessica.
Hahaha, its amazing when you start rediscovering you house again after they all get moved out isn't it|?!
Think you should write an allotment diary, for all us newbies to follow. All the best. Love from Blackpool
I would love that. Really good idea
:D I tried to write one for myself before but it was all so weather dependant i had to keep shuffling things around! I might try to put together an 'adjustable' one or something!
I should get planting and plant some plants then. 👍
:D
Wow! I was just about to start searching for seeds to sow in June and up your video pops! Thank you! 😊

Fantastic video jessie I love June I'm growing Kale de Niro first time I have fingers crossed can't wait for your next video 🙂👍🏻
:D thanks Nick! Oh i hope you love the Nero. Its so good with fennel seed!
June in nz is the start of winter. I like to use this time to rest and plan my next summer vegetable garden.
Thank you for being so encouraging. My mother-in-law keeps saying how she has been eating potatoes and peas for some weeks now. I look at my garden, it makes me feel a failure. You have picked me up as by the end of this month, early July vegetables should come good. Thank you!!!

Your cat didn’t move! Great video.
I'm glad you possibly noted out the repeat sowings. i'd better get to it with my herbs and salads!
Very helpful for this first timer. Thanks.
:D fab!
Really nice video Jess. Lots of good info to mull over. 😁😁😁😁
:D thank you!
I cover my sweet corn seeds with cardboard and keep damp til they germinate
Good plan! I know lots of people do that with carrots.
Thanks for sharing this info. I put corn seeds in a bed the other day and will put cardboard over them. Thank you again.
Great tip!
Excellent video and seed selection for sowing in June Jessie to continue producing crops. It's great that we're getting sunshine and that we can get out in our allotments/gardens 👍
Oh isn't the sunshine welcome! Yeah, its a beautiful time of year!
You are certainly going to be busy getting that lot in so good luck with everything. You're cat was enjoying the hot weather behind you.
Hahaha, yeah Lily have been soaking up the sunshine!
Thank you Jessie
Excellent as always Jessie, very good info, thank you
Thanks Stephen!
Your cat is a bit dozy with the chucks waddling about 😁 brilliant video Jessie 👍
Ah, she'd have no chance! :D :D
Jessie I've just noticed that your now over 10k very many congratulations on a subscriber milestone 👏👏

Super useful - I'm a new veg gardener and have learned so much from your vlog!

Thanks Jessie, as always, an excellent informative vlog once again, I will dutifully get sowing this weekend. Many thanks 👍
Hahaha, thanks Alison!
Thank you Jessie you are an awesome gardener giving us such a useful information!! Blessings 🙌🏻 from across the pond🤗🇺🇸🦋

Thank you. This is so useful, especially as I’m a first time veggie grower lol. X
Thanks for the encouragement.
I am late, as well, this year. Also had a spot of weather im May.
😂😂😂 I was really listening but I could stop watch Lily she moved I think once the entire time you were talking.

Turnip! Forgot to sow Hugo’s turnip! 🙄🙈🐢
Thanks Jessie, you’re a wealth of information 🙏 ...... happy sowing x
Oh no! Hugo! :D Quick!
Jessie at Plot 37 😂😂🐢🙈
Yes, everything is busy now - I have my own allotment to look after and also I work for a charity part time on an allotment site in Bury where I tutor a small group of adults with learning difficulties - not to mention having to mow, etc in my own gardens at home.
It doesn't seem a chore if the weather is good.
Even in the rain its better than sitting in an office!
So helpful! 💚
:D
Am so behind this year due to unforeseen circs so this video brings me joy. I can sow so much more and will try peas in shady spot. Thanks a bunch ❤️
Visiting you from Gander Newfoundland and Labrador Jessie. YOU have a very neat plot!
There is a summer sowing broad bean available for the first time this year 4 a autumn harvest.
Thank you! Good vibes as always xxx
I agree Christine spragg
Thanks
Thank you Sue!
I'm inspired to sow some seeds, thank you!
Good video Pretty Lady!!!!! Your eyes are amazing!!!!! Thx for sharing Be safe
Wow i love it looking good 🌽🌽🌽🌷🌹🌹🌸🌸🌸
We comes to Beans I prefer to grow dwarf Beans as the climbing beans tend to shade out the raised beds
Ah yeah, they do shade a bit but i really like the shade they provide because we have no cover at all!

And thanks on the 10K :D

Great video Jess... and you are 1 subscriber away from 10000! Woo Hoo 😊
:DD Thanks Sandra!
Not sure how you made it onto my suggested list, but the urge to bury my beans is amazing... 😇🤫 you’ve gained a loyal subscriber!
