what can you not grow in June welcome to
0:04
Gardening with Ben we're going to talk
0:06
today about what is too late to plant at
0:08
this time of year as I've done many
0:11
videos on what you can grow in June but
0:14
we're going to tell you what you can't
0:16
plant in June and the ways around it of
0:19
how you can actually grow these produce
0:21
that we're going to talk about so it's
0:24
too late now to be growing your broad
0:26
beans broad beans either like to be
0:29
planted around October November time
0:32
ready for an early harvest uh in the new
0:35
year or sew them around March time but
0:39
it's now too late to be growing broad
0:41
beans so if you're wanting broad beans
0:43
you miss the boat and you'll have to
0:45
wait until October to November to plant
0:48
them ready for next year next up is
0:51
sprouts everybody loves sprouts do we
0:54
just no we don't i hate sprouts
0:58
absolutely awful but it's too late to be
1:00
starting sprouts off from seeds sprouts
1:03
are one of the longest growing
1:05
vegetables you'll start them off around
1:07
March time and you won't be harvesting
1:10
them till November December time so it's
1:12
too late to be sewing sprouts but if you
1:15
are wanting sprout plants if you do
1:17
enjoy the sprouts at Christmas dinner
1:19
the best thing to do is go to a garden
1:21
center and buy the plants and plant the
1:24
actual plants and you may still get a
1:27
harvest from them so if you're wanting
1:31
sprouts go out and buy the plants and
1:33
get them planted outside but make sure
1:34
you protect them because the pigeons do
1:37
like to eat the plants so make sure
1:38
they're well netted and also protected
1:41
from butterflies as well next up is
1:45
parsnips again too late to sew parsnips
1:47
you'll have to wait till next year uh
1:49
you usually sew your parsnips around
1:51
February March time for a harvest later
1:54
on in November so unfortunately you
1:57
can't grow parsnips at this time of year
2:01
next up is garlic now garlic is
2:03
definitely too late to be growing you
2:06
don't start that off until October time
2:08
that is when I plant mine because garlic
2:11
needs the cold weather to form the bulb
2:13
the cold weather cracks the bulb and it
2:16
forms the garlic big clove so if you
2:20
wanting to grow garlic make sure you
2:22
stay tuned for us sewing ours in October
2:24
and we'll show you how to do it next up
2:28
is cauliflower now certain varieties
2:30
can't be grown at this time of year
2:31
certain varieties you can grow through
2:33
the winter so have a look at the
2:35
varieties on the packets and make sure
2:37
you check the dates of the sewing on
2:40
them as it will tell you on the packets
2:42
when you can sew them and if you can get
2:45
them growing now if you wanting the
2:47
normal cauliflowers what you usually
2:49
harvest around September time go to a
2:52
garden center buy the plants plug plants
2:55
and get them growing that way but yes
2:58
