You can plant some root vegetables in June. These vegetables can also be planted directly in the soil, but you should wait until after the last frost. In high mountain regions, the last frost could occur as late as mid-June. In these climates, tomatoes, squashes, pumpkins, melons, and cucumbers can be planted in June. These plants can be planted as seeds if you live in colder climates.
FAQ
What is the difference in hydroponics and aquaponics?
Hydroponic gardening uses nutrient-rich water instead of soil to feed plants. Aquaponics combines fish tanks with plants to create a self-sufficient ecosystem. Aquaponics is like having your own farm in your home.
How many hours of light does a plant need?
It depends on which plant it is. Some plants require 12 hours of direct sunlight per day. Others prefer 8 hours of indirect sunlight. The majority of vegetables require 10 hours of direct sunshine per 24 hour period.
What is a planting plan?
A planting calendar is a list that lists plants that should be planted at specific times throughout the year. The goal is for plants to grow at their best while minimizing stress. For example, early spring crops such as peas, spinach, and lettuce should be sown after the last frost date. Later spring crops include cucumbers, squash, and summer beans. The fall crops include potatoes and carrots.
What size space is required for a vegetable garden?
A good rule of thumb is that one square foot of soil requires 1/2 pound of seed. If you have a 10-foot by 10-foot area (3m by 3m), then 100 pounds will be needed.
