What Vegetables Can I Plant Now In The UK?
In June, UK gardeners can still fill productive gaps. Sow quick crops such as radishes, lettuce, salad leaves, beetroot, spring onions and pak choi for follow-on harvests. You can also sow or plant out warm-season crops such as French beans, runner beans, courgettes, pumpkins, squash, outdoor cucumbers and sweetcorn where conditions are warm enough.
June priority: check the weather and soil before sowing. Sweetcorn is best planted in blocks rather than single rows, and it should be outside before the mid-June window closes in many UK gardens.

Calendar dates and regional guidance verified against RHS guidance by the SoilCommander Growing Team.
Did You Know? "Last frost date" and "safe to plant out" are two different things. RHS guidance distinguishes air frost from ground frost — ground frost can occur even when no air frost is recorded, because cold air sinks and pools at seedling height. Wait until nights are consistently staying above 7°C before planting out most crops, and above 10°C for tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and other heat-loving plants.
