What Veg Seeds to Sow in June | Easy to Grow Veg for a Prolonged Summer/Autumn Harvest #80 

Thank you very much for your comment Tracy which is greatly appreciated. I know what you mean about sowing and it is partly why I produce these videos because it reminds me also of what I need to plant in each month!. Hopefully this will help to make us veg growers more productive! Kind regards. Gary

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. If you look through the previous videos on my channel you will see lots of ‘tours’ which show you the progress of my fruit, veg and flowers on a month by month basis. The last one I filmed was only last month and you will find it very high up in the video list. Please take a look and let me know what you think. I will be filming a June tour in the next few weeks so keep a look out for that. Kind regards. Gary

That is very kind of you Melissa. Thank you very much. Kind regards. Gary

Thank you very much for the suggestion Chris. I love spring onions and grow a range of varieties but I’ve not tried Barletta before. I will definitely give the a try! Kind regards. Gary

Thank you very much for your comment Ute which is greatly appreciated. Fantastic veg and herbs you are growing which always taste great especially in autumn. Kind regards. Gary

Hi Sarah. Thank you very much for your comment and I’m pleased you have subscribed are enjoying the videos on my channel. Yes, I was born an bred in Birmingham and I’m based near Birmingham Airport. Kind regards. Gary

Hi Sunai and thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. Is it because your seeds are not germinating, or your plants are not growing or possibly they are being attacked by insects? There are quite a few reasons why your Kale and Spinach may not be growing. Give them another try and let me know how you get on and if they are not successful let me know what is happening and I will see if I can help. Kind regards. Gary

@@TheAllotmentGardenandKitchen Omg you’re so sweet Gary. I can get the seeds to germinate but after a little while my seedlings just keep dying 🥲 I live in Tokyo it’s about 90 degrees outside but I have them inside with the AC on near the window

@@SundaiLove hi Sundai, try keeping the compost moist but not saturated and also keep an eye out for possible insects that will eat small seedlings. If possible once they have germinated try to get them into daylight/sunshine for at least a few hours a day. Hopefully this may help. Kind regards. Gary

@@TheAllotmentGardenandKitchen very helpful thanks so much

Hi Melissa and thank you very much for your comment. It is always a bit of a challenge growing certain veg in hot climates like yourself. We do get warm temperatures here sometimes but it is very rarely prolonged. You could try shading for some of your veg by either planting near where they are overshadowed by trees or other plants or you can be shading screens or netting. This will help protect your plants from the strongest of the sunshine. Regular watering is also essential but always water at the coolest time of the day. That way the water will not evaporate too quickly and will get to the roots where it is needed. You could also try mulching around your plants with straw or grass cuttings which will help retain moisture around your plants. I hope this helps and kind regards. Gary

Lettuce and peas are definitely cool weather crops. I'm no expert on hot climate gardening, but you might want to try growing cool weather crops in the winter, fall, or early spring.

I did these are from fall lol

Thank you very much for your comment which us really appreciated. It’s great to hear from you from Florida. I get most of my seeds from DT Brown (online) or from a UK retailer called Wilko. You can get seeds from Wilko online so try their website as well. This is a great time to buy seeds as Wilko are currently discounting their seeds prices. I hope this helps and kind regards. Gary

@@TheAllotmentGardenandKitchen Gary, thank you very much. I shall immediately place my orders. Next timeI am in Brum, I shall make it my pleasure to visit you at the allotment and go for a pint. Till then, keep up the good work. In a short time, you have really taught me a lot and have inspired me even more. I am at my wits end having to deal with the iguanas. I thought about installing an electric fence but netting seems to be the best way to go. My only concern is that I have a cattle panel hoop trellis which I installed for Melons, Pumpkins and Chyote . Two times the Iguanas have eaten them down to the stubs. Any tips for how I can protect these plants from the bottom up to the top of the arch and down the other side? Thanks in advance, Gary. I have a few questions regarding my Strawberry plants. But I shall address them at your appropriate RU-vid site.

@@theclarendongroupii437 thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated and I’m really pleased you are finding the videos on by channel useful. Thankfully I don’t have the same issues that you have with iguanas, however if I did I would imagine i would probably build something similar to a fruit cage and use good sturdy netting. You could also use chicken wire instead of netting but that can start to get expensive. Yes, if you are in or around Birmingham in the future I’d be happy to show you around my Allotment. Kind regards. Gary

Hi Jenny and thank you for your comment. I understand what you are saying about the slugs and I’m sure anyone reading this will also understand. I also start my peas indoors but in a gutter, and then transfer them outside when they are large enough. The slugs seem to be particularly hungry this year! Kind regards. Gary

I'm exactly the same, unfortunately! Either slugs or birds... I've considered netting them but I've got them in very long rows (each side of a path) and it seems a waste of netting!!

@@sowingwild netting would definitely help in relation to the birds but as you point out, your current layout will make it complicated. You could try making smaller moveable netted frames which you can move around as you need. Kind regards. Gary

@@TheAllotmentGardenandKitchen Not a bad shout at all - thanks so much :)

@@sowingwild no problem at all. Kind regards Gary

Hello and thank you very much for your message. I decided not to grow broccoli a few years ago as for me it took a lot of space and produced a small yield for the area used. I do like broccoli and you could plant this in early June for an autumn and winter harvest. Kind regards. Gary

Thank you very much for your comment and I’m so pleased you are enjoying the videos on my channel. It is a little late in Zone 8a/b to sow Parsnips unless you have space to grow them indoors over the autumn/winter period. I’ve not grown scorzonera before but I believe it could be sown now for use in late autumn. I hope this helps and thank you once again for your comment. Kind regards. Gary

@@TheAllotmentGardenandKitchen Thanks Gary for advice and I look forward to following your garden adventures. The scaffold net tip was fantastic - ordered online for brassicas. Kind Regards

Hi Valerie and thank you for your comment. I’m really pleased you liked the video. There are some great varieties of carrots and mangetout to choose from. Over the last few years I’ve grown Autumn King Carrots and Oregon Sugar Pod Mangetout. If you’ve not grown these before they are well worth a try. Kind regards. Gary

Hi Boris and thank you very much for your suggestion which I will definitely give a try. I love Kale. Kind regards. Gary

I've grown scarlet kale the last two years. Haven't gotten to try much of it though because the deer and squirrels like it too.

@Beaguins oh dear. I don’t have a problem with deer or squirrels but I do have to keep my Kale covered and protected especially from butterflies and also birds when the plants are small. Kind regards. Gary

Hi Mandy and thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment. June sown brassicas should be ready to harvest in late autumn/early winter. If you sow enough then June sown brassicas can provide a great supply all through the winter depending on your own growing conditions. One of the things I always get great joy from is popping down to the allotment on Christmas Eve and picking fresh brassicas and other veg for Christmas dinner. Kind regards. Gary

Hi Patricia and thank you for your question. I bought my scaffold netting online from Amazon a few years ago. You can get different lengths but I ordered a 50 metre roll. If you shop around you should find the cheapest option however it represents good value because you use it over and over again. Kind regards. Gary

Hi Tom and the thank you very much for your question. I don’t have too much of an issue with bolting however providing a bit of shading can help. That could be by planting near taller plants or by using some netting to provide a bit of a screen. If you are growing indoors in a greenhouse or polytunnel then good ventilation and regular watering may also help. Kind regards. Gary

Hi Melissa. You will probably know them as Rutabaga. Lovely veg and well worth growing.
