Last Chance: Sow these 7 Crops in June
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 май 2024
- June already?! Surely it's too late to sow crops now! Believe it or not, there's still plenty you can sow now. Not only that, but it's actually a great time to start your follow-on crops to plug those gaps in your garden and make the most of your available space, giving you almost double the harvests.
In this week's episode, Ben explains how...
If you missed last month's sowing guide, there's still time to sow some of these too...

Something special about this channel is that it always leaves me with less garden anxiety. Most channels in this realm tend to induce paranoia. Love the positivity
Or they try to sell you something 🤦🏼♀️ I don’t need 14 e-bikes 😂😂
Same!! I get they need to make money but as soon as they try and sell me something unnecessary, I unsubscribe.
Much as I love this channel and Ben is a hero, I find their transition towards clickbaity ‘You MUST do this in June!’-style headlines is having the opposite effect on me
@@CindyPakme too! Once some of these RUclipsrs start getting more viewers & subscribers they start to become salespeople! It’s a turn off and I also unsubscribe! We get enough commercials in the movies, on tv & radio! I love his channel because he gets right to the point and breaks down everything so simple, great upbeat personality too! Hello from New York! 👋🏽 Happy Gardening! 😊😁
I find that, too. Same with Charles Dowding and Huw Richards. All top men. There are some women gardeners that are the same. Emma from Emma's Allotment Diaries is my favourite. She's not a 'how-to' channel but she's a ray of sunshine, hilarious, and produced a wonderful yearly allotment planner.
Ben may be my favorite person on the internet. Always puts a smile on my face. 😂
He could be a member of The Beautiful South.
Ben shares knowledge in crisp clean informative sentences. No distracting music or wasteful scenes. Very tight editing. Fantastic!
You are amazing. Reading the comments, you clearly impress a lot of us to grow our own food. I hope this is a sign of the future and how we will all eat real food, not chemical laden rubbish.
I hope so too. Thanks for watching! 😀
Love this channel. Ben is a natural presenter and full of great information x
Your videos always motivate me to get out into the garden, thanks for your inspiration Ben
I let my parsley go to seed last year and was happy to see one plant go to so many. I did have to spread them out a bit more, but well worth it. I even had enough to gift to friends.
Going to the garden center right now. This gardening thing gets to be close to addictive. 🤣
It is a good thing to be addicted to though isn't it?
So far we've been getting more rain than sunshine on my end! I'm hoping it slows down a bit I still have so much sowing to still do! 😭
And cold. So much for the 'warmest spring ever' I think not BBC!!!
Hi Ben I kept on checking if I turned on the notification button or not,I was waiting for you to upload a video,your videos are healing me slowly and I'm starting to do gardening again
Delighted to hear that you are starting to garden again. Absolutely the best medicine of all! :-)
I've got my p.s.b in an old IKEA drawer in my conservatory 😅It's doing really well!
Cheers from Canada - great vid to start off the weekend :)
I do just love your videos. " No plant drama". Thanks for the reminder to get my fall planting crops going 🎉🎉
I just transplanted my peppers, tomatoes and eggplants. I still have plenty of broccoli and cabbage starts to transplant. But now I will sow cucumbers, summer squash, cilantro, sugar snap peas, lettuce and kobocha squash. Kobocha is my favorite for pumpkin pie and squash soup because it is so sweet, you don't have to add sugar.
I love this channel. Always gets me inspired to begin gardening. I just wish I had the space. Apartment living doesn’t provide new with the needed space to grow much 😔
But if I was going to be growing I’d grow some year squash, maybe zucchini. Chili pepper and bell pepper. Maybe a blackberry or raspberry bush.
Try looking for container or dwarf varieties of veg and herbs to grow on a window sill or even under a grow light in a dark corner? I feel the pinch of small space just like you 😭 but I stubbornly still trying hahah. Good luck to you!
@@seekerjordan680 I do have several other house plants, but no veggies or herbs.
Thank you! You can grow some lovely herbs and even mini veggies are available to grow on a window sill inside - no space is too small!
Hi Ben, another snapshot of your allotment year, brilliantly explained, thank you.
So, last month I told you the mice had snaffled all my courgettes, you advised plant again, so I did! They're up,up and away!!! Loads more peas and beans sown, germinated and ready for transplanting. My companion flowers are ready for planting out too. At this rate I'll need to till another bed!!!! Thanks again Ben
Well done Rich - so pleased they're up and away. Great to persevere with these things. :-)
Best no nonsense, no frills gardening. So accessible, thanks!
I don't make pickles but I use dill in my homemade herb bread.
Dill is delicious on all sorts of things! Carrots and potatoes come to mind right off.
Love the gardening videos. It is getting to be time to plot out my fall garden. I have all the seeds I need, I just need to decide on what I am, going to plant where. For now, it is harvest time. Thursday. I harvested out my shelling peas, snow peas, and potatoes. Friday, I harvested the kohlrabi and Swiss Chard. My mustard greens are ready for their third reaping, and I have crookneck squash, lemon squash, zucchini, cucumbers, salad onions, and Hungarian Yellow Wax peppers ready to pick. I have potatoes chitting for planting fall potatoes on July 2nd. In july, I'll start seed starts for cabbage, in August, seed starts for brocolli, cauliflower, and Nappa Cabbage. Tunips and carrots will probably replace my Hearts of Gold cantaloupe and Sugar Baby watermelon. In a coupel of weeks, my garlic will be ready to pull up. My onions won't be ready until August or September leaving that bed open for planting. My tomatoes are flowering and loaded with ripenng fruit. I just planted seedlings for late season tomatoes, and have two more ready to transplant. I'll probably up pot them and wait until some of my determinant tomato plants have been harvested, and are ready to come out of the ground. It won't be long. I'll be harvesting the first tomatoes of the season in a couple weeks. I have two peach trees to add to my orchard, and a Prarie Fire crabapple tree coming in the post with an estimated delivery date of Tuesday. Dang garden keeps getting bigger! LOL. Happy gardening!
Sounds like you really are doing well and truly have the gardening bug! Happy Gardening to you too!
Wow!
I bought another covered planter trough a few weeks ago to grow some funky carrots - round like golfballs. I have my first couple of little sprouts!
I'm finding it very exciting 😁 and they're protected from the pigeons, squirrels and starlings!
I still get excited when my seeds sprout! Happy gardening!
Thank you Ben, truly inspiring.
I'm a little behind since our country is currently swimming in rainfall.... AND SNAILS! All I'm growing at my plot is grass which I can't mow due to the rain.. 😅😂 Ah well..
Let's get some beans and corn sown in pots and ask my daughter where she has left the nasturium seeds, which she gently sown around the garden. 😊😅
Smile its great to grow at Home 😊
Loved the fun graphics in this one. Greetings from the land of kohlrabi...😊
Fab stuff! :-)
Loved this video! Thank you for sharing. I just harvested my potatoes, and unfortunately lost the crop due to a slug worm infestation. But I’ve turned the bed over, removed the slugs, and sowed some okra seeds!
Sorry to hear about your potatoes - so annoying, but good luck with the okra! :-)
Gracias Sr. por otro video lleno de experiencia y imformacion, e aprendido mucho con sus videos ud es una inspiracion para mi.. Saludos desde Guyana. Dios lo Bendiga 🙏
We love your videos! Thanks for all the help!
As always, thank you so much for your helpful advice
Thank you, Ben! I'll be sowing more carrots and I'll try the parsley!
Hello just been given an allotment, but have been following your channel for a while and will certainly follow your advise.
Thanks for the tip on fennel as i have trouble growing it xx
My coriander seems to absolutely love my location because I'm a brand new gardener and it has just taken over!
Just sowed carrots and onions today.
Thanks for sharing this information
Enjoy listening to your voice hahaha great information as usual! Thank you for your loving touch to planting a garden
So nice of you - Happy Gardening!
I'm picking my early potatoes , rocket, spinach, radish, lettuce, kale, broad beans
Happy days
Hello Ben,
You are an amazing gardener! So knowledgeable! I love your passion and enthusiasm.
I am near Portland, Oregon and I am learning to farm. Your videos have been incredibly helpful! Thank you. Please keep the videos coming!!
This is so lovely to read. I spent a year in Portland (Multnomah Village) and loved the area.
Great Video as always Ben 🙏🙏🌱🌱
I am just starting out and I’m so happy I found your channel!
So pleased you found the channel too - welcome!
Great show as always.
I love your enthusiasm ! I have just sown sweetcorn and psb, basil is slow coming up, trying to keep my swede seedlings alive
Oh I love your stuff bud. You are continuing to inspire me in my own garden!
So delighted to read this. I hope you manage to thwart the grey squirrels. Not sure what to suggest on this other than adding mesh over the beds when the plants are young to keep them off.
Great Video!! Thank You for all your effort
Nice one Ben, Thanks for the tips on what to sow in May.
No problem 👍
Planting my first Chinese broccoli and Christmas (red speckled) lima beans this year. Thank you for all the sowing tips! So glad I subscribed!
So delighted you subscribed also - a warm welcome to the channel! :-)
Thank you for yet another wonderful, informative, helpful, high quality video! 👏🙋
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this channel
I think beans and corn are the only things I'll be sowing in June. Everything else is at least in a seedling tray indoors if not outside. I might do more flowers, though. Thanks again for another lovely, positive video!
Thank you 🌿🌱!
Hmmm Kohlrabi is delicious! One of the only veggies I really liked as a kid- my family always cooks it in a white sauce out of flour roux, milk, Salt and pepper until it is soft 🤤
Sounds yummy! :-)
It’s great thinly sliced in stir fries.
Howdy, Ben! I so enjoy your videos, even when I can't plant what you are planting. We are getting ready to go into our upper 90s to 100+ temps. Shade cloth time.👩🏾🌾
Hope you manage to stay cool Valorie. I can't imagine having temps that hot so soon in summer. Mid 60s here still!
😢 I sowed and grew PSB all winter and then a horrible cold spell hit so I fleeced it all in the poly and created a rat Airbnb. Lesson learned 🤦🏼♀️. Great update as always Ben have a fantastic week, Ali 🌧️🌧️🇨🇦
Great channel Ben. I’m just starting out gardening and loving watching your videos. I’m learning lots from you so thank you 😊
Thank you - that is lovely to hear! Happy Gardening!
@@GrowVeg thank you
Thank you for the to-do-list for June, just in time. I actually find fennel easy to grow (north-west pacific climate - similar to the UK) and I had great success with winter sowing. They don’t seem to mind being transplanted but, of course, we will need a couple of more weeks until harvest.
Love kohlrabi. Lost all my first lot to slugs. But planting more this week 👌
I've just harvested the elephant garlic and I'm going to plant out some butternut squash where it was. Good year for garlic on the I.O.W this year 😊
Hello again! After the failure of runner beans and peas I decided to wait until the weather gets cooler to try them again 🧐 Instead I have started sowing malabar spinach and mung beans and they're doing quite well so far, developing their first leaves already 🥳 Also Kohlrabi is very popular here in Vietnam but I never found its English name before so thank you for the English lesson 🤩
Summer greens, Cilantro, Carrots, Basil, more Summer squash, more cukes, Winter squash, Bush beans. Maybe some brassicas at the end of the month.
Thats my list 😂
Wow - happy growing!
Does this apply to warmer climates? It's really hot here in texas I feel like planting anything right now would get scorched lol
@@dawnbradford7361 nope, not Texas. I’m in Pacific Northwest, on the coast. My nighttime temps still dip below 50F. My summers are very mild, I can grow leafy greens year round with no shade cloth. Brassicas and cilantro still bolt in my climate, likely from the daylight hours rather than heat. I wait until late May/June to plant summer crops because it’s just too cold and wet here. I tried to plant early cucumbers this year and it’s the saddest thing ever
Another good video great information
Okra and basil are being planted this weekend. One important thing I have to keep reminding myself is to label the trays when I plant the seeds! Hot and sweet pepper plants look alike as well as many cole crops.
So true. Good labelling is paramount!
Great brassica lesson
Kohlrabi is super easy to direct seed. If you sow at the end of summer, it helps to cover the row with fence boards to keep the soil moist.
Thanks for saying that dill is a good companion for tomatoes. I had read otherwise and was upset when my husband planted a large patch of dill next to the tomatoes. I can relax now. I have failed in the past with fennel, not even germinating. I just planted it again and will also plant some parsley. Love to watch your channel.
Hope the fennel does well for you this time round. Happy gardening! :-)
Hi Ben - thank you for another great gardening video.
After I come back from my holiday I am going to be sowing more carrots, more borage (though I am not sure if it will be too late) perhaps some more marigolds too. Also lettuce and coriander. I have already got some purple sprouting broccoli seedlings and also some nine star broccoli seedlings too. It's my first year growing nine star so it's exciting. 😊
Enjoy your first year. You’ll absolutely love it, I am sure! :-)
Some handy tips Ben, thank you. I will sow some dill and parsley right now!
Perfect - enjoy!
Dont know about you, but the amount of snails this year is insane. Their even eating the garlic, unions and my kiwiberrys have no leaves anymore. Its insane
In England? I've certainly noticed a lot, yes. Last autumn was the first time that I noticed a significant number in our garden, then this year there's been an explosion in numbers.
@@danyoutube7491 Same here in Holland, i dispatch at least a hundred each evening.
Lots of slugs here too!
Hello Ben ! :D Hope all is well kind sir !
All is very well thank you. Hope so likewise! :-)
I find soaking your corriander seeds for 24 hours then potting out dramatically speeds up the process. I bought a sack of seeds in Thailand for about £1.50 which goes to show you the insane mark up price seed companies charge here in the UK.
Good job you weren't caught by customs bringing seeds into the country! But your right about seed companies, and if they're not putting their prices up, they're reducing the number of seeds in a pack - often both.
@theborderer1302 they were packaged from a supermarket I think for cooking purposes. Seem to grow well however..
@@lifestapestry2968 Wouldn't work here. All imported seeds for cooking are irradiated to ensure spores, viruses etc are destroyed. It's never a good plan to bring any plant material into the country from abroad, because you don't know what passengers they may be carrying.
Exactly, pests or harmful plants are spread that way. One way of international warfare is sending seed packages by mail to strangers in foreign countries, and most who receive, plant them simply due to curiosity. Chinese started doing this to random US nationals a while back, and probably this is still ongoing... One of such invasive, dangerous and destructive plants is giant hogweed/"cow parsley", you can check videos of hired teams in the US trying to get rid of these monsters wearing hazmats suits 😢 A single seed mixed among other seeds is enough to get it going...
Exactly, foreign seeds can be very harmful, check the giant hogweed and chinese seeds packages videos to know how dangerous it can be.
It's June already, but round my place we're still talking less than 20 degrees Celsius for most days and mainly rain. In a week or so I am hoping for sunshine though, so I'll definitely sow dill around the tomatoes (who are doing surprisingly well given the cooler weather), parsley and coriander. I also have some artichoke seedlings on the go which I am going to "flood" the garden with, once it gets a bit warmer). I might also get some mange-tous and various beans going as well.
Here on the Oregon coast is a bit cooler and moist though we are looking at our dry season coming soon. I'm sowing a second batch of bush beans and will also be doing some more broccoli etc. I haven't grown kolrabi in years but it does well here. Perhaps it's time to try some again. Thanks for your insights and inspiration.
Another great one mate always reminds me to sow a extra bits and bobs 😂
Thanks for the great tips and reminders 🌱 I have the worst time getting dill to grow but I keep trying. I’m going to plant some in between my tomatoes today.
Good luck!
Thank you! Learned a lot (:
Hello friend aapse plant growing Karne Ka Tarika bahut iji aur Achcha hai main apne homemade garden mein zaroor Aisa kam Karti hun
Im enjoying having soil for the first time. Burying rotting wood chunks and charcoal in my compost really stabilized moisture and oxygen and got all my not quite soil yet materials all nice n soily, little clumps of fungal structure etc at last yay
Great job! :-)
Kohlrabi !! Mashed! Homefries!
Have some runner beans in the veg patch covered with hay that I bought from a local plant shop, they was already growing in pots of 6, still got 2 more pots to plant in yet, will get a chance to soon, and 3 pots of tomatoes I have re-potted into bigger pots, put them into the greenhouse and cover with hay again. Hoping to keep my eye out for cucumber pots and corgette pots too. Like this channel btw, very informative.
Lots to be looking forward to! :-)
found that the seeds from fresh plants/veggies have higher percentage of germination💙
My plan is to try broccoli again, as last year I lost all of mine to the cabbage white caterpillars.
So I’m going to have to go back over your older vlogs to see if I can find out how to protect them and maybe I’ll try growing some winter cabbage.
BT is your friend
This video should help I hope: ruclips.net/video/-NYVacngcXw/видео.htmlsi=uIKpf24Z8WtS7FvQ
Oooooh I almost forgot about kohlrabi! Gotta go find a spot for it! Last year when I planted some out, one of them ended up being definitely NOT kohlrabi lol - it was some strange leafy green with an extremely strong flavor, something like a cross between a rutabaga and mustard. It was very hearty though, and my chickens enjoyed it. 😆
I'm trying to clear away half an acre of land for growing. Its hard work but I think its going to be worth it.
Good luck with it - you'll get there! :-)
@@GrowVeg We are out in the middle of nowhere, in Powys, surrounded by the black mountains. Our is a fish out of water story. A family of townies, moved to the country, determined for a better and healthier lifestyle. Do you have any video about the correct garden tools.
I love kohlrabi ❤
kholrabbi coleslaw is apperently heavenly good 😁
I found that if I don't water fennel it doesn't bolt. The root goes a long way down so you don't need to. Plant mid June to avoid big changes in temp.
Was to listening to pause to check out your T shirt
That’s funny. Where I live we have to harvest brassicas by now or they bolt. We plant them through the winter.
Always good value, Ben! Relieved to see you don’t feel the need to net your carrots - I’ve trying some Resitafly this year without any other pest protection, fingers crossed they do exactly what they say on the tin! Separate note but have you done a video before on best way to extract seedlings from plug trays at planting-out time without destroying half the root ball in the process?
Haven’t done a video specifically on that. But to avoid damaging seedlings from plug trays be sure to carefully poke them out from the bottom with a pencil or similar rather than pulling from the top. 😀
Love your videos. I'm in the newer England though and broccoli wants to bolt in late May/June so I was surprised to hear you saying to plant that now as temps are climbing. How are you avoiding premature flowering?
It's the sprouting broccoli I'm sowing now. My summers are fairly cool, so if you're worried about bolting you could maybe delay sowing by another month or two.
@GrowVeg ok thank you!
You do not sow calabrese in June , unless you want some nice yellow flowers when it bolts .
I’m sowing sprouting broccoli in the video, to give a crop next spring. 😀
You had me at 'super savvy space saving'. One of your best yet. Top form Ben.
'Perfect for perking up poultry' was a very close 2nd place!
Haha, cheers so much! :-)
I've been interested in kohlrabi
Kohlrabi are delicious - cooked or raw!
I just wanted to suggest you try a simple Fennel and Orange salad.
Simply sliced fennel and orange cut in "cubes", a pinch of salt and a litle olive oil, you'll love it i'm sure.
If you're feeling fancy, you can add a drizzle of balsamico, yummy ;)
Oooh that sounds delicious! :-)
Always good information I had trays of veg growing but the slugs have eaten every one . Not sure how to stop that happening
Sorry to hear this. If you can raise trays off the ground this should greatly reduce attacks from slugs.
Love the videos however I’m in the US in Georgia zone 8b and my brassicas bolted on me even my sprouting broccoli. It’s so hot here so I’ll wait until the fall .
Ah I can't wait for I have our mega harvest crops coming! 😅 I say that now but I have about 74 tomato's so I'll regret these words
okra , beans, winter squash
I have a question. I watched your video on how to recycle plastic bottles. I loved the idea of using them for watering. My question is how far apart do you put the bottles in a bed? I've saved many bottles and ready to bury them. Thank you for your reply! I do enjoy and have learned so much from your videos. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
I would just put one bottle to one (bigger) plant, such as a zucchini/courgette or tomato. So each plant gets its own bottle.
Brilliant video as always! Going to purchase some sprouting Broccoli for sure 🥦
Out of curiosity, what potting mix do you get?
For the potting mix I just use a regular all-purpose potting mix - sold here as multipurpose compost. :-)
Fun fact: Kohlrabi was the inspiration for triffids.
Awesome fact!
