with you the seeds that i am sewing in june now  what you are able to sew in june is going to  

depend a little bit on your specific frost date  if you are planning on sowing heat loving crops  

that are frost tender you just need to make sure  that you have enough time before your first fall  

frost in order for things to come to maturity my  estimated first fall frost date here is october  

6th so planting today on i think it's june 11th  i've got about 107 days give or take i'm not sure  

if my math is right for things to mature before  that frost comes so i'm just going to basically  

want to make sure that anything that i'm planting  today is going to mature within a 100 day window  

which for the most part other than a few very very  long season winter squash and pumpkins and a few  

um like dent or flint or flower corns most  everything can reach maturity in that time on the  

other end of things is considering your typical  summer weather so here by about the middle of  

june all through july all through august halfway  through september we tend to be very very warm  

very humid and get less rainfall than we would  typically get in the spring or the fall so at  

this time of year i'm pretty much done with  anything i would qualify as a cool season  

crop i'm not doing any more carrots or lettuce  or radishes anything like that if you live in  

a zone six area that stays a little bit cooler  through the summers you can certainly get away  

with sewing some of those things into june i do  not i typically wait and plant them late summer  

for a full garden instead and that works really  well for me here so on to what i do plant in june

in the beginning of this month i will  direct sow things like sweet corn  

and shorter season popcorn flint corns flour  dent corns ornamental corns anything that's  

kind of under that 105 day maturity  range i also direct sow or transplant  

winter squash pumpkins gourds any of  the melons watermelons cantaloupes  

gallia honeydew anything in that melon class as  well as my ornamental castor beans i typically  

also transplant sweet potatoes and peanuts  if i didn't get them planted in late may

early to mid-june is a time i take  to transplant any of my tomatoes  

tomatillos eggplants peppers that again  i didn't get planted in mid to late may

and the good news is there is still a whole  lot of stuff that can be planted pretty much  

the entire month of june here all the beans so  bush beans pole beans runner beans edamame i will  

typically succession plant these types of things  all through the month of june cowpeas or southern  

peas are the same way they love the heat and can  be planted anytime during the month of june direct  

sewn flowers like your wildflower mixes cosmos  nasturtium amaranthus borage and morning glories  

and i'm also planting a lot of my hot season cover  crops as my cool season crops come out so those  

are things like buckwheat sorghum sudan grass  sunflowers sun hemp and cow peas the entire month  

of june i also have the opportunity to direct  sow or transplant my summer squash and zucchini  

i like to do succession plantings of that as well  cucumbers okra which really loves the heat and  

basil i can also continue to plant annual flowers  like sunflowers marigolds zinnias and celosia now  

obviously you'll get blooms a lot faster if  you're planting those from transplant but i do  

still have time to plant those from seed as well  so that pretty much wraps up what i am planting
