Zone 1a Planting Schedule

Last spring frost: Jun 15th
First fall frost: Jul 15th
Growing season: 30 days

Action Plan: June in Zone 1a

Expert Note

In June, keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; mulch to hold moisture and reduce weeds. Watch for aphids and flea beetles on tender growth, and check undersides of leaves weekly. Water early to limit fungal issues during humid spells.

Seed & Soil

Get warm-season starts in the ground with Tomato and Bell Pepper (if you have them), and direct sow quick, heat-tolerant crops like Zucchini and Cucumber while soil is reliably warm. Add Basil once nights stay mild for steady leaf growth.

The Harvest

Harvest fruit as it ripens: pick Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious, and Red Delicious regularly for best flavor and to prevent drop. Continue with Boysenberry and Marionberry, picking every few days so plants keep producing.
