Zone 13a Planting Schedule

Action Plan: June in Zone 13a

Expert Note

In Zone 13a during June, keep soil evenly moist and mulch to reduce heat stress. Watch for aphids, thrips, and spider mites on peppers; inspect undersides weekly. Avoid overhead watering to limit foliar disease, and feed lightly but regularly with a balanced fertilizer.

The Harvest

Harvest hot peppers like Bhut Jolokia, Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, and Tabasco as they fully color for best heat and flavor. Also pick storage-ready squash such as Candy Roaster when rind is firm and skin resists puncture.
