This June planting checklist is for Pacific Northwest gardeners who:
- Feel like June got away from them and aren't sure if they've already missed the window (you haven't)
- Aren't sure if it's finally warm enough to put tomatoes, peppers, and basil outside
- Want to know the real Seattle timing and not the generic advice written for California or the East Coast
- Have raised beds, containers, or a small backyard in the greater Seattle area
- Have warm-season starts that have been sitting around too long, or empty beds they want to fill fast before summer
It's especially helpful in that early-summer stretch when the soil is finally warm and everything wants to go in at once. June is when the warm-season window opens in Seattle, but our summer is short, so timing still matters. And late June is already when you start your fall crops, which tends to sneak up on people.
Covers: tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, basil, summer squash, zucchini, cucumbers, beans, lettuce, radishes, carrots, beets, chard, winter squash, and pumpkins, plus the fall crops to start from seed now (broccoli, cabbage, kale, cauliflower) - with specific timing for Zone 8b/9a, a simple rule for reading your own soil instead of a calendar, and how to water as the spring rain backs off.
