what fruit can you plant in June welcome
0:04
to Gardening with Ben In today's video
0:07
we're going to talk about what fruit can
0:08
be planted in your gardens and a
0:10
lotments in June Obviously you won't get
0:14
fresh produce off them this year but you
0:16
might get them in a next year or a few
0:19
years time So these are the fruit that
0:22
you can get planted this month
0:25
Strawberry runners Now if you've got
0:27
strawberry plants on your a lotment or
0:29
gardens they'll be sending out the
0:30
runners once they stop fruiting And
0:33
these are free plants for you to use
0:35
little extras and they'll send out about
0:38
four or five runners And you can often
0:40
get maybe six or seven plants off each
0:43
plant if you're lucky Now when they send
0:46
the runners out pop them into the ground
0:48
still attached to the runner and they
0:50
will root Once they start rooting then
0:53
you can snip them off and create your
0:54
extra plant and plant them where you
0:57
want them to grow And they are free
0:59
plants and strawberry plants quite
1:01
expensive to buy So the more strawberry
1:03
plants you get the better And if you
1:05
don't want them still do it and give it
1:07
to a friend or a plot neighbor Make use
1:10
of them and don't chuck them away It's
1:13
definitely worth sharing them with other
1:15
people Next up is gooseberries Now
1:18
gooseberries are delicious I've got red
1:20
ones on my a lotment Red ones are sweet
1:23
and tasty Green ones are sour So if you
1:27
like sour ones plant the green ones But
1:29
yeah if you've got a plot neighbor who's
1:32
got an aotment and they've got a
1:33
gooseberry bush why not take a cut in
1:35
from that it's a lot cheaper Obviously
1:37
it'll take quite a few years to get
1:39
growing but it'll save you some money in
1:41
the long run Next up is currents
1:45
Obviously you've got your red your black
1:47
your white currants all different
1:49
varieties of currants Get them in the
1:51
ground now Get them growing get them
1:53
watered well and hopefully in a few
1:55
years time you'll get some currents on
1:57
your plots Next up is rhubarb crowns Now
2:01
I've got 16 rhubabb crowns on my a
2:03
lotment They've been in for 20 years and
2:05
they're still producing fantastic
2:07
They're well worth the money with how
2:09
expensive rhubarb is in supermarkets now
2:12
So get your rhubarb crowns planted
2:14
Remember don't pick them in the first
2:16
year Let them get established and then
2:18
pick them the year after So don't pick
2:21
them next year when they start growing
2:24
Pick them the year after when they're
2:26
well established or they won't take root
2:29
properly Next up is blueberries
2:31
Blueberries need to be planted in
2:33
eicacious soil or compost So some people
2:36
grow them in tubs rather than in the
2:38
ground because they need that acid
2:41
acid acidic soil to be planted in So if
2:46
you wanting to grow blueberries grow
2:50
compost Next up is fig trees Now I've
2:53
got a fig tree on my a lotment I've got
2:55
four figs on it Now I think you meant to
2:57
move them indoors during the winter
2:59
months but mine survived Mine survived
3:01
It's still growing And we've got about
3:03
four fig trees on four figs on it at the
3:06
moment So hopefully fingers crossed
3:08
we're going to get some figs this year
3:09
down at our a lotment And next up is
3:12
grape vine Now I bought mine from the
3:14
Asda about 3 years ago It's just
3:17
starting to produce grapes this year So
3:20
hopefully we're going to get some
3:21
delicious grapes growing on them So make
3:23
sure you stay tuned for them because I'm
3:25
sharing regular videos on how well
3:27
they're growing and how well they're
3:28
getting on So that is the fruit that you
3:31
can plant in June Remember to give us a
3:33
follow to stay up to date with
3:35
everything that we're getting up to down
3:36
on our a lotment Until next time
3:39
remember keep smiling keep shining and
3:41
keep gardening with better everyone
