5 easy vegetables to grow in pots in June
You don’t need a large garden to grow your own vegetables. Although having a dedicated vegetable patch is ideal and will give you ample room to grow a whole range of crops, it’s still possible to harvest tasty vegetables grown in pots.
So, whether you have a balcony garden, a small patio, or a decking area, you can still enjoy the experience and the end result of growing an edible garden, regardless of the size of your outdoor space. And, even if you do have a larger plot, there’s no reason why you can’t add a few vegetable pots to your patio.
The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) states that although vegetables can be grown all year round, the most popular time is between April and October. And while the first few months have passed, there’s still time to get planting.
Even if you’ve already got a crop of vegetables growing in your yard, you can still plant these 5 easy vegetables in pots in June
1. raddish: If you fancy something hot and fiery to add to your summer salads, radishes are the perfect vegetable to grow. And apart from adding some heat, they’ll add a touch of bright red too.
Calum Maddock, gardening expert at HomeHow says, “Salad radishes are quick and easy to grow from seed and can be grown in even the smallest of spaces. Thanks to their short roots, they are one of the best vegetables to grow in pots and will not need overly large containers to flourish.
2. spring union
Spring onions, also known as scallions, are another easy-to-grow vegetable that can be added to summer salads, stir-fries, and a whole host of other dishes.
3.kale
One vegetable I’ve been eating more of recently is kale, and I’m not the only one enjoying this green-leafed veggie. In recent years it’s achieved superfood status.
“It’s tasty, nutritious, and easy to grow,” says Maddock, “Kale is a member of the cabbage family and works wonderfully both as mini salad leaves and tasty greens for cooking or adding to smoothies.”
4. zucchini
Zucchini is one of my favorite vegetables to grow in my backyard, as I enjoy adding it to all sorts of dishes, like risotto & bread. Additionally, it’s a prolific crop, and I’ve only ever needed to grow two plants to achieve a bumper crop.
If you don’t leave it too late in June, there’s still time to plant zucchini seeds, place the seeds one inch deep and position the pot in plenty of sun, keeping the soil moist. Alternatively, zucchini plants can be potted straight into your container
5. beetroot
I grew up watching my grandma cooking up fresh beets pulled straight from the soil. But despite seeing the growing process from seed to plate, I never quite appreciated the taste of beets. A few decades on, it’s now one of my favorite vegetables to add to a summer salad.
Apart from cooking this colorful vegetable, beets can be eaten raw, pickled, and even roasted. It’s a versatile vegetable that also adds a burst of color to a plate.
