What to sow in June

June is the month where the work shifts from sowing to maintenance. Water, weed, feed — and start enjoying the first harvests. There's still plenty to sow for autumn, but honestly, the best thing you can do this month is keep on top of what's already growing.

Your timing depends on where you are

The last frost date in Cornwall can be three weeks earlier than the Highlands. That changes when you can safely plant out tender crops — and when you need to start seeds indoors.
