What to grow NOW in June! This isn’t your typical video of what to sow this month. Instead, I’ve created an unmissable list of just 5 plants that I think you need in your gardens to give you abundance, tasty food, flowers, and all-year-round interest, without you getting overwhelmed! Don’t just take my word for it… joining me this month are Charles from @CharlesDowding1nodig and Liz from @LizZorab with their recommendations!

Thanks for watching! ❤What do you think of my choices? What are you growing right now?
Wonderful selections everyone 🍃🌸🍃
Great list Niall! I see you replaced your turf for landscape fabric in your raised bed area. What is your opinion on using it? Great video!
In Liz's section, what is the purple spire type flower in the background?
You're making me feel real good about the free irises I was given at my local arboretum!
Those chives flowers are beautiful and would make a great border
Chives are hard to kill. That makes them nice.
I’m already growing chives and winter squash, but I’m certainly going to get some foxgloves going also. 😊
I have Purple irises growing near the pound and loads of chives dotted around the garden.
Thank you Niall, I so enjoy hearing from my favorite gardeners;, You, Liz and of Charles. You all have inspired me to try different method of gardening and also encouraging me to try different types of plants. None of this would ever happened , but your videos that are so informative and easy to follow instructions on how to start and succeed. Thank you again and may you have a fantastic JUNE.
I sowed my winter squash already and it's starting to get true leaves. There was a yellow iris in the corner of my yard I divided this year and I keep trying to start chives but the transplants didn't do well in spring so I'll keep trying that. I hadn't planned on beets but I'll consider that and check out the other flower. I like the sound of a little green through winter.
Thanks Niall, great recommendations. I'm going to split and rehome some chives around the garden.
Could you give us more information on iris? When to plant and the different types?
I don’t know much about them
Great video Niall, yes will be planting all those except have already done squashes as new to Ireland and thought the season might be shorter. Totally agree with comment on Seeds Ireland, have had great germination rates which have produced healthy veg and flowers. I grow in quite a large area at home and at work. Thanks for video
You should get garlic chives there flower in the late summer early fall and make great edible plants to.
This was wonderful, Niall. Thank you! Have a good week, DA
I know this is not what the video is about, but what [kind of] hedge is behind you?
Wonderful wonderful video Niall! I was taking notes throughout.
You are so spot on with the chives. I have chives growing wild. Thank you for spearheading your vid with it. I take your word with the irises. I plan to move a lot of sword irises in other locations. Cheers from Mid-Norway.
Lovely video thank you. I grow foxgloves every year but mat try chives and honesty this year after seeing this video. Can I ask what the yellow plant is growing with your chives please
🌈💚🍀
Getting ready to plant veggies here in Planting Zone 5A, Gander Canada!
Can you please talk about the season rather than the month? Here in New Zealand I'm not planting those. It's almost winter solstice so I'll plant garlic soon
My chieves are a big failure this year. My pumpkins I have to sew twice but now they are looking so healthy. Iris I have lots of in my pond. A few days ago I started my pickles and golden beatroot. In a few days I am going to sew cale and purple sproiting broccoli.
How long does it take for chive to flower from seed?
My Gma was an iris hybridizer and I just found out that she has 5 irises registered with the American Iris Society. The oldest was in 1956 and the most recent in 1976. I was bummed that there weren't any photos of the flowers and no one seems to be selling them. I guess I'd have to hybridize them myself to have some. 🤷♀️
I love foxgloves tho they don't like me 😅
Really enjoyed your talk at bloom
Nice
I just found some garlic chives seeds at the store, very excited to sow them around my heirloom tomato bed! My winter squash is coming on well, and is going in the ground soon. And thanks for the reminder to get my bienniel flower seeds going, I almost forgot! I don't have room for them in the garden this year, hopefully they'll be ok overwintering in pots!
