June brings the 1st day of summer on 6/20, but you can still keep gardening—it is not too late! Whether you are just getting started or continuing to make changes to your existing garden or raised beds, here are our June tips. You can still plant these melons and vegetables that we listed for April and May: cantaloupe; honeydew melon; watermelon; corn (field or sweet); cucumbers (trellis to protect from direct summer sun); field peas; green beans; lima beans; okra; peanuts; peppers; popcorn; squash; sweet potatoes; tomatoes; and zucchini. For all of these items, we recommend planting in Daddy Pete’s Perennial Pleaser, Daddy Pete’s Potting Mix, or Daddy Pete’s Raised Bed Mix. In addition to these items, the month of June is the ideal time to do your first planting of black-eyed peas, cranberry beans, pinto beans, and pumpkins. For these items, we recommend using Daddy Pete’s Cow Manure, Daddy Pete’s Kickin’ Chickin, Daddy Pete’s Lawn & Garden Soil, or Daddy Pete’s Mushroom Compost mixed in with your existing soil.

If you want to continue planting this summer, visit our website at www.daddypetes.com to submit your questions for our “Gardening with Daddy Pete” podcast with Melvin York and Jay York. We are excited to answer your questions and keep you gardening throughout the summer. Here is a link to our podcast page.
