June: the magical vegetable month. When days can seem almost endless and there is near zero fear of frost. Seed that may have seemed reluctant just weeks ago is likely to be more eager now.
It is the time of the summer solstice. The month for sowing any tender squashes and corn. It’s when I long for room to grow more courgettes and pumpkins, the extravagant spreading plants. Some experts may tell you to sow two together and later remove the smaller, weaker one. They might be right, but it sits less well with me. Lavish love on both if you’ve room.
