Summer in the Bay Area Vegetable Garden

It’s June. Your crops are planted and growing, but not yet ready to harvest and you still want to get out and work in your garden.  What's a gardener to do? Learn from Master Gardener Birgitt Evans.

June is an excellent time to revisit and upgrade (or install) your Irrigation System.  Learn about simple irrigation systems suitable for veggie gardens.

It is also a great time to work on building your soil so that future crops will thrive.  Learn how to recycle your plant waste yourself with a simple compost system and build healthy soil and healthy muscles at the same time.

And June is still early in our growing season so there are a lot of crops that can still be planted for summer and fall harvests as your current crops ripen.  Explore crops that we can still plant in June and how to give them a head start.
