What to Plant in June

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.
