What to Grow in June in the Garden


Hi Garden Friend,

Summer's Here! Time to Swap Those Struggling Plants

We are heading into hot season and that means your warm season plants are finishing up and maybe aren't looking so good. If you have struggling plants, it's time to pull and replace them with plants that will do well this time of year.

Look at my What to Grow in June in Central, TX guide (or anywhere it's hot 😂) to help you decide what to plant next.

My Two Favorite Plants to Grow in the Heat

Your goal for the summer is to keep your soil covered with plants and not letting it bake in the sun. Great plants to help do this are black-eyed peas or sweet potatoes. They love the heat and provide lush green foliage even when it's 100° outside.

Don't Forget to Hydrate!

Always have a watering plan for the summer. Especially if you are leaving on vacation. How to Water Your Garden
