It’s summertime! That means it’s prime time for heat-loving plants of all kinds. Here is a starter guide for what to plant in your garden or containers this month.
SAGE
BASIL
MELONS
CUCUMBERS
SCALLIONS
BEANS
A lot of the summer producing veggies that we all love tend to grow faster if they’re planted in the early summer. The soil is warm and primed for seed germination and baby plant growth.
Cosmos
Celosia
Marigolds
Sunflowers
Dianthus
Zinnias
It’s never too late to plant annual flowers. If you plant a new round of plants at the end of June, you’ll have fresh color until fall’s killing frost.
Herbs
Peppers
Greens
Squash
Corn
Sweet Potatoes
Late June is the time to start thinking about planting a second round of veggie crops. This is especially true if you want to stretch your available harvest into late summer and early fall.
