garden work in June
In June, the garden enters one of the most productive periods of the year. In much of Italy, many spring vegetables are harvested, and new sowings and transplants are carried out for the summer and fall harvest. Furthermore, the scorching heat that stifles all work hasn't yet arrived; the temperature is mild, allowing for mulching and a thorough check for aphids, red spider mites, and powdery mildew. June is a month for abundant sowing of vegetables, while it's also the time for harvesting cherries, melons, and the last strawberries.

What to grow

Coming to the work, the first thing to remember is that June is a month of harvests . There are seasonal vegetables, from carrots to cucumbers, from zucchini to peppers, all so plentiful and precious, and there is fruit you can bring to your table, if the trees have been well cared for. Furthermore, take advantage of the late sunset: you can finally work in the garden until late, at your preferred times, without being stuck in the dim light.
