Vermont Home Gardener June Gardening After the cool, wet days of May we can now get seriously planting and cultivating our gardens. While there are many plants that can be seeded outdoors now but don't be tempted to start working your soil if it is still too wet. If you insist on tilling your garden it is very important to wait until the soil has drained and dried enough to be crumbly, not sticky. I do not till my garden soil at all because tilling is very damaging to soil & unnecessary. If you have raised beds you can get started sooner because of better drainage, warmer soils & no tilling is needed. Whether you are beginning a new garden or wish to improve an established garden, raised beds will make your garden more productive, more convenient, and are less work in the long run (no tilling, ever!). Raised beds do very well in the hilly, rocky, weedy, cool, wet, northern New England conditions. Because the spring weeds have been growing so well now is also a great time to start making your own "weed bio-fertilizer" that will make use of those weeds and improve your garden soil for free!
