Direct sowing - June

What do you all sow directly into the ground in June?

Last year I had visions of having all kinds growing by now, but forgot that real life gets in the way
In reality I have-

Potatoes - earlies, seconds & a few mains...not managed to plant all the mains, is it still ok to do so now?


Toms, peppers, sweet peppers in greenhouse, all doing well.


Onions & garlic - although the little house I built around the Kelsae fell apart in the 2 day'storm' we had & crushed most of them!


Sweetcorn, although they didn't look overly happy the last time I checked them. Do I have time to plant more?



I had started cabbage, brussels & swede in coirs, left them outside - they may well gave drowned

The fruit patch is just 'there' & cracking on with life. Most of the plants are new, so not expecting much from them this year - except strawberries There is a bit of life on the plum tree - but the wind took the netting & the birds have probably now taken what was growing..


Am feeling a bit disheartened...please tell me I can still sow!

 

Thanks @shiney - I've never been a direct sower either. I like to 'nurture' the little beauties before planting out. This is what has left me in a bit of a muddle

 

It's because of my garden that I'm so not with it at the allotment Have spent days demolishing Ivy amongst other stuff, to put up a fence to keep the dogs in! Fella that was supposed to be doing thenfencing, didn't show up - so we did it ourselves (Moved house)

I'm going to the allotment this morning - then onto the garden this afternoon as have a couple of 4x2 leanto 'greenhouses' to build & some rubbish to get rid of.

Thank you @JWK - is there anything else that can be sown now in or out of pots then? I thought it would just be direct sow at this time of year?

See my eyes get opened all the time! Got to love this site

 

Last year I sowed runner beans in August and had a good late crop- what about squashes like 'sweet dumpling' worth a try I would have thought but you'd need to get them in now. I'm sowing lettuce directly every three weeks.

I look in at the site below for ideas on what to sow...

Sorry to hear about your Kelsaes Canny

Jenny's list is a good one

The things I was gonna suggest are on there

 

Nothing.

Yes, absolutely nothing. I have heavy clay soil and there's not one crop worth sowing direct. I now even start seed spuds off in small mushroom trays, then transplant into pots and then plant out when their root systems are fully formed. Seed spuds grown this way 100% success, others

 

Thank you @jennywren
I managed to sow spring onions, carrots, lettuce, cucumber & peas yesterday. Thats quite a long list you've posted All is not as lost as I thought

I rebuilt the Kelsae windbreaker yesterday - about 6 of them out of 20 survived. Most of them had leaves severed right from the bulb or had the bulb sliced clean in half. The ones that are left are now starting to bulb up nicely.

Busy days for you then @Scrungee
My soil is really good - am very lucky in that respect!
