June

What to do this Month – June

Vegetables

1. Continue sowing salad crops, such as beetroot, lettuce, pak choi and radish. Leafy salad crops may do better when sown in partially shady sites since hot dry weather can lead to bitter-tasting leaves.
2. There’s still time to sow French and runner beans, peas, squash, sweetcorn, and outdoor cucumbers directly into prepared beds outside.
3. Sweetcorn works best sown in blocks with at least 45cm (18in) between holes, with two seeds per hole. Sow before mid-June. Any young plants raised under cover can now be planted out into the same block pattern.
4. Although most winter brassicas need to be sown earlier in the season, calabrese, turnips and kohl rabi can be sown now for an autumn crop.

Fruit

1. Continue training fan-trained trees.
2. Train in new shoots of blackberries and hybrid berries.
3. Shorten newly planted raspberry canes once new shoots are produced.
4. Summer prune red and white currants and gooseberries.
