9
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:51,079
episode. Hey, everyone is Gardening
with Ben here for a brand new episode

10
00:00:51,759 --> 00:00:57,280
today. It will be continuing with
our podcast from yesterday. Yesterday's podcast was

11
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,960
talking about all the jobs and all
the task what needs doing in the allotment

12
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,079
and garden for this month. So
if you've not listened to that, make

13
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,040
sure you go and have a listen
to it. Getting notepad ready and get

14
00:01:08,079 --> 00:01:12,560
writing those jobs and tasks down,
as there's always plenty of little jobs and

15
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,799
tasks around the garden and a lotment
that you don't think about doing, so

16
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,920
make sure you go back and have
a listen to that episode if you've not

17
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,359
listened to it. But today's episode, we're going to be talking about all

18
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:29,640
the things that you can get growing
in the allotment and in the garden and

19
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,040
in the flowerbeds and the fruit areas
at this time of the month, as

20
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,480
there's still plenty of time to get
growing stuff and filling all those gaps where

21
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:44,439
crops may have failed or not grown
properly or been eaten away by the pestikey

22
00:01:44,519 --> 00:01:49,200
slugs and pigeons, a bit like
what I get done. So yeah,

23
00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:53,120
make sure you get a notepad for
this episode, because then you can make

24
00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:57,040
a list of the things that you
can get growing, and we'll start off

25
00:01:57,079 --> 00:02:00,799
with what can be grown in the
vegetable garden them. So in the vegetable

26
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:06,480
garden this month you can be growing
some beetroot. Most of these are for

27
00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:10,199
the last month of the things that
you can actually get growing. So beetroot

28
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,560
is one of the last things that
you can sew this month. You can't

29
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:20,039
probably saw it later on in the
year. Now is probably the last month

30
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,879
to be growing your beetroot. You
can have a sew that in the ground

31
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,280
or in seed trays and then transplant
it. But yeah, get some beetroot

32
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,639
in the ground to fill all those
gaps in broccoli. Start broccoli off in

33
00:02:30,759 --> 00:02:36,159
seed trays or directly in the ground
and these will be harvest in all the

34
00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:39,919
way through summer and autumn time.
So if you're wanting late crops off broccoli,

35
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,960
now is the time to be sowing
them Carrots. You've still got plenty

36
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,319
of time to get growing some carrots. So if you've got some good beds,

37
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,120
what are easy for carrots to grow
in, because they don't like stony

38
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:59,400
soil, now is the time to
be growing some carrots. Causeetes, if

39
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,639
you call jets, have failed quite
often. They do birds to eat them,

40
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,039
or the stems all rotten, they
won't grow properly. You've still got

41
00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:13,680
time to grow some corsejet plants,
So sew some corjats and get them growing

42
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,080
and you'll still get some great crops
from them. Cucumbers, these need to

43
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,400
be in the final position now,
whether it be in the buckets, whether

44
00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:23,759
it be in growbags or in the
ground. You need to have got these

45
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,199
in the ground by now. But
make sure they're protected from the slugs because

46
00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:31,800
the slugs do love to eat them. French beans. This is now the

47
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,280
last month to be sewing your french
beans straight in the ground. The same

48
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,800
grows pet For the peas, this
is the last month to be growing pieces.

49
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:43,759
So if you want to late crop
of peas, get some grown.

50
00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:46,960
And I I said some last week. Some peas so as my other piece

51
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,879
are doing really well water in the
ground at the moment, so I want

52
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:54,800
a second crop later on to I've
sewn a load more peas peppers. Plant

53
00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:00,759
your peppers into the final place a
bit like your cucumbers. Get them and

54
00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:03,599
get them growing. The same growth
for tomatoes. Get your tomatoes in the

55
00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:12,759
final place ready to start fruiting.
Radish and spring onions. These can be

56
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,319
sown this month. So again,
if you've got little spaces, little gaps,

57
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,519
get some radish, get some spring
onion in and you can be having

58
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:26,959
them any sandwiches pretty soon because radish
don't take long to grow whatsoever. Turnips

59
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,720
you can sew these straight directly into
the ground for crops later on in the

60
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,920
year. So if you wanted some
turnips, fill the gaps in, possibly

61
00:04:36,079 --> 00:04:41,759
from where you've harvested from your garlic
or your onions, because they'll be coming

62
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:44,560
to the end now, so you'll
have a gap where they are. Why

63
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:49,600
not sow some turnips and get them
growing fruits now, there's not many fruits

64
00:04:49,639 --> 00:04:54,040
to be swing this month, to
be honest, is none that you can

65
00:04:54,079 --> 00:04:58,879
plant this month. The only thing
for fruits is for the melons. Make

66
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,000
sure they're in the final place,
a bit like you cut cumbers and your

67
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,879
peppers and your smatoes. Make sure
they're in the final place, and keep

68
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,160
them supported as they get growing up
netting. If you're growing them up netting.

69
00:05:14,519 --> 00:05:17,439
What flowers can be planted this month, Well, there's not many flowers

70
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,160
left to be planted this month.
And one of my main flowers what I

71
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:27,959
do love to grow is colundle.
They are absolutely beautiful and they always do

72
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,000
really well with lots of color,
and they bush out spread about and they

73
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,319
make the place look absolutely gorgeous and
the bees love them. The same girls

74
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,680
for sunflowers. If you've not started
any sunflowers, off to see who you

75
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,439
can get the toilet sunflower. You've
still got time to be growing some flowers,

76
00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:49,040
So get some sunflowers in quick and
you can have some beautiful displays,

77
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:54,079
especially for the bees, and maybe
you'll be eating the seeds as well,

78
00:05:54,480 --> 00:06:00,480
because you can eat the sunflower seeds
pans is. Yeah, we're going to

79
00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:04,720
be thinking about winter. If you're
wanting some color for the winter, now

80
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:11,759
is the time to be sewing those
pansy seeds and getting them growing for winter.

81
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,519
So that is everything that you can
sow in June. There's not a

82
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,839
load of things left what we can
be getting growing, but there's quite a

83
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:25,920
few. And I hope you found
this useful and let me know what you're

84
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,279
going to be sewing this month.
I've certainly got quite a bit of stuff

85
00:06:29,319 --> 00:06:32,319
growing down at the allotment. I've
started a few things off from stuff that

86
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:36,199
I've failed with or whether I want
to later crop with, or whether I

87
00:06:36,199 --> 00:06:41,079
want to fill the gaps in my
beds. I've started quite a lot of

88
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,560
stuff off this last week as I
want to get some more stuff growing,

89
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,240
and hopefully we do. And this
is the month when we will start harvesting.

90
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:57,319
Stuff will be harvested as strawberries,
will be harvested as lettuce, possibly

91
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:02,439
spring onions, as potatoes like that. So it's exciting that this month we'll

92
00:07:02,439 --> 00:07:09,040
be starting to collect all this produce
what we have been concentrating on growing and

93
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:14,120
when you're harvesting your first lot of
produce, it's absolutely amazing the taste,

94
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:17,199
the texture, and you'll soon make
a lot of friends because they'll all want

95
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:21,240
to be tasting them. But yeah, this is an exciting month down at

96
00:07:21,279 --> 00:07:27,240
the allotment Garden. So I hope
you found this useful for today. Like

97
00:07:27,279 --> 00:07:30,439
I said, if you've not managed
to make notes, why not listen to

98
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,079
it again and make some notes of
all the things that you can get growing

99
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:40,600
and fill those spaces in. So
I hope you've enjoyed it. Remember keep
