June is the month for successional sowing and planning ahead for autumn and winter harvests in UK gardens. Sow winter brassicas including kale, sprouting broccoli, and Brussels sprouts for November harvests. Continue sowing French beans, runner beans, beetroot, carrots, lettuce, and spring onions every 2-3 weeks. Plant out the last tender crops. Harvest the first broad beans, new potatoes, and salads from spring sowings. Over 25 crops can still be started in June.
