Which June veg seeds cope best with shade?

A shady garden doesn’t prevent you from growing your own veg. Kale shoots, parsley and American land cress will all cope well without lots of sunlight.

Which veg seeds cope best with drought?

If your garden is particularly dry, sow Basil ‘Purple Ball’ seeds this month to make your own pesto, pizza toppings, salads and pasta sauces. It works well in cocktails and summer drinks too.

Which veg seeds are best for poor soil?

If you have light, sandy soil, try Carrot ‘Volcano’, Basil ‘Purple Ball’, or Beetroot ‘Jolie’.
