What to Plant in June for a Full and Flourishing Summer Garden

June is a month of (almost) endless possibilities. The soil is warm, and there is lots of sunlight, a perfect combo of conditions that makes it an ideal time to get planting. For any gardeners eager to add to their space this month, the good news is that there is a long list of suitable ornamental and edible plants.

It is a time to plant summer bedding, flowering perennials, quick-growing annuals, vegetables for summer (and later) harvests, herbs, and even some fruit. Provided you aren’t in the midst of a heat wave, you can plant young plants into the soil or sow seeds directly into the ground, raised beds, pots, or hanging baskets.
