What To Do In Your Vegetable Garden – June 2025

Master Gardener John Geib discusses what you should be doing in June 2025 in your Big Country vegetable garden.

Hello, I’m John God. I’m a vegetable specialist with the Big Country Master Gardener Association. Welcome back to our series of videos talking about what we need to be doing in our vegetable garden for the following month. I hope you’ve all had a good Memorial Day and honored our fallen soldiers who fought to give us our freedoms to garden in peace. Well, summer is here. We’re in a time of hot days and occasional storms. So, what should we be doing during the month of June in our vegetable gardens? Well, it’s June and the growing season is in full swing. It’s time to just enjoy our growing garden and enjoy some doing some minor activities. Hopefully, your garden was able to survive all the recent hail storms that we’ve had. Now, all of your warm and hot weather veggies should be planted out in the garden by now, but keep an eye out on that weather forecast. Our temperatures can get well above 90° easily during this time of year, which can really put a big stress on our gardens. Any crops in the garden will need to be tended to. A little bit of general maintenance like weeding and watering is all that should be needed right now for the most part. Most of the plants will require about 1 in of water per week. This will include any rainfall that we get for the week. Any plants that are ready to be harvested can be harvested at your leisure. If you need to replace any of the plants lost due to weather, you can go ahead and add a few transplants back into your bed. Plants that can be harvested in June are beets, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, kale, lettuce, peas, radishes, spinach, Swiss chard, turnups. Remember that all the scraps from these harvested plants can be put into your compost pile for next year’s garden. Plants that can be planted in June are beans, cantaloupe, carrots, corn, cucumber, eggplant, okra, peppers, squash, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, watermelon, and zucchini. These can go into the garden either as seeds or as transplants. Well, that is all for today. Thank you for watching this video. If you’ve learned something, please like this video.
