June

This is a collection from various sources such as Root Cellaring: Natural Cold Storage of Fruits and Vegetables by Mike and Nancy Bubel and Month by Month Gardening in Utah by John Cretti to help keep me on track. I will post updates to each month as needed.

FRESH VEGGIES:

Asparagus

Beans

Peppers

Lettuce

Peas

Zucchini

New Zealand spinach

Onions

Broccoli

Kohlrabi

Cabbage

FROZEN VEGGIES: not used in summer

CANNED VEGGIES: seldom used, except for pickles

ROOT CELLAR: emptied and cleaned out in June

SOW SEEDS INDOORS

Start cool weather seedlings now like cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and brussel sprouts

PLANT OUTSIDE

Last call for planting pumpkins and watermelons

Plant more sweet corn, beans and late cucumbers if have space

Replant the pea patch with something else once harvested all pea pods

OTHER TASKS

* Pull out bolted (seed forming) lettuce, spent broccoli stems and other cool season crops.

* Use tops of beets and turnips as salad greens.
* Thin root crops

* Pinch and prune the tips of herbs to delay premature flowering and encourage more compact growth
