June is ideal for direct sowing root crops and other vegetables for a winter harvest. Prepare a fluffy seed bed, use row covers, and be patient with germination.
Protect seedlings from pests and thin them for best growth. Weed regularly and mulch with rice straw.
- Sow carrots, beets, radishes, and other root crops directly in June. - Use row covers to retain moisture and protect from birds and pests.
