June

Sow in the ground
More lettuce and salads
Radishes
Beetroot – if you didn’t sow in May, you can still sow now for an October crop
Carrots – a main crop variety for lifting in October

Plant in the ground
Courgettes, squash and pumpkin plants – all love to grow on top of a small mound containing lots of compost or manure

In the greenhouse or polytunnel
Provide support for cordon tomatoes and for cucumbers

Container growing
Sow baby beetroot

Harvest
New potatoes – when large enough (usually, when the plants are flowering)
Lettuce and salad
Radishes
French beans
Strawberries
Peas
Broad beans

Jobs
Earth up main crop potatoes (ie when the shoots have 20cm drawing up of soil around the stems of the plants) to prevent tubers going green
Support cordon tomatoes and pinch out sideshoots. Water daily and start feeding as soon as little green tomatoes start to appear
Thin parsnip seedlings
Thin carrot seedlings, preferably at the end of the day and then get rid of the waste so as not to attract carrot root fly
