June Garden Tasks by Region: Planting and Herbs

In most of the West, prime veggie time—but not too late to plant some edibles.

• Southern California: Still try beans, beets, carrots.
• Northern California: Go for corn, cucumber, eggplants, more.
• Northwest: Spice things up with hot peppers.
• Southwest: Try a pomegranate tree.
• Rocky Mountain states: Flashier veggies like bell peppers, kale.

Anywhere, great time to start summer herbs: plant Thai basil and cilantro for kitchen use all summer.
