Zone 1b Planting Schedule
Last spring frost:
Jun 1st
First fall frost:
Aug 1st
Growing season:
61 days
Action Plan: June in Zone 1b
Expert Note
In June, keep soil evenly moist and mulch to hold moisture and suppress weeds. Watch for early-season aphids and flea beetles on tender growth; use insecticidal soap if needed. Ensure good drainage to prevent rot during humid spells.
Seed & Soil
Get warm-season starts and transplants in while nights are staying mild: Tomato and Bell Pepper for steady summer harvests, plus Zucchini and Cucumber for quick, high-yield production. Direct sow Basil after the soil warms for reliable germination.
The Harvest
Harvest ongoing fruit and keep plants producing: pick Bluecrop and Blueray as berries ripen, and collect Boysenberry frequently to prevent overripening. If you have early apples, take Precoce D'Argenteuil and Pink Lady promptly for best flavor and texture.
