Vegetable gardening in Zones 1 – 10, what to plant in June. Have you been following my what to plant series? If so, you probably already have some beautiful veggies, herbs and fruits growing in your garden. But the planting season isn’t over – summer crops are ready to sow!!!
So today I have list of seeds you can plant in June for more delicious harvests.
I’ve divided the planting schedule by zone for zones 1 – 10; just scroll down to find your zone. In each section I have included links to organic, non-gmo seeds that should do well in your particular zone.
But if you prefer to shop by catalog see my article on Where to Buy Heirloom Seeds, for some great choices!
You can plan your entire year of gardening here, see my Month to Month Planting Guide.

The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature.
To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul.

What to Plant in June
June is the start of summer and for many zones the start of planting. Here in Phoenix I have everything in the ground that will grow in our summer heat… I await the return of fall so I can plant leafy greens and carrots again!
No matter what you’re planting I hope your garden is a source of pleasure as well as sustenance!

Great information here. I am still looking for supplemental data on gardening and would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks a lot!
Searching gardening on my blog – lots of info here.
Why does June planting end with zones 3&4?
I would like to see more for my zone, since we are now in June and can’t turn back time to do any additional May planting.
Keep scrolling – there are all zones in there.
Yes,all zones are there. But the listing for zones 5 and 6, plus 7 and 8 say May not June. I assume this is a typo. If not, then the other conclusion is that those zones can only plant through May. I think that is what the other comment meant.
Typo – I’ll get that fixed! 😀
how do I get the seed for lettuce, and carrot

I’m so confused. What do these zones mean?
The zone is the area you live in.
Here is a link to see the plant hardiness zones in the Us…
