June Seed Sowing

June is the heart of the growing season, and there’s still plenty to sow for continuous harvests through summer and into autumn. With warm soil and long daylight hours, germination is quick and growth is strong — perfect conditions for a wide range of vegetables, herbs and flowers. Ideal seeds to sow in June in the UK include beetroot, carrots, radishes, turnips, swedes, French beans, runner beans, courgettes, pumpkins and sweetcorn. You can also sow salad leaves, rocket, lettuce, spinach and spring onions for fresh, fast-growing greens. Herbs such as basil, parsley, coriander and dill thrive in June warmth, while flowers like sunflowers, cosmos, marigolds and nasturtiums bring vibrant colour and attract pollinators. Successional sowing this month ensures a steady supply of produce later in the season. Keep soil moist, water early or late in the day, and harvest regularly to encourage new growth. With Seed Envy’s premium seeds, June sowing keeps your garden productive, colourful and full of life all summer long.
