What to veg to plant in June for easy gratification

I have left clearing my veggie patch until now as life got in the way. What could I plant now that wouldn't take too long to grown. Thank you in advance for suggestions

 

Most garden centres should have a range of veg plants ready for planting now. Salad crops probably mature the fastest but it's a good time for planting pretty much all veg. It depends on what you like to eat.

 

Runner Beans would be the choice for us, still time to sow the seeds now either indoors or out.

Just 4 plants can be more than enough for two.
Grown up a wig wam of 4 canes or in a row if you have the space.
The more you improve the soil before planting the better the crop, a bean trench ideal .

 

At this time of year plugs would be the answer bought on line or from GC.

 

The plug plants sold locally don't save much time because they tend to be very immature plants, perhaps only a couple of weeks from seed. The squash and tomato plants often do have much growth above their seed leaves.

It is late for sowing tomatoes, squash, peppers but quick growers like peas, beans, lettuce, kale, chard would work as would crops for later harvests like broccoli, cabbage.

 

If you have a decent supermarket in your area @kristie davies , they may also have some decent small plants available - tomatoes, peas/beans etc. Ours certainly had some deecnt sized plants when I was in last night. The DIY stores can also be good - I used to get small tomato plants at this time of year [when I'd just moved into this house] and there was nowhere to plant, and I had less time to spare.
The aforementioned salad crops will grow quickly, but it does depend on what you like to eat.

 

My local garden supplies place is selling pots of tomato, aubergine, peppers, chillies and assorted courgette and squashes ready to plant out and then leafy things like Swiss chard, assorted brassicas and salads and herbs plus strawberries.

You can still sow seeds of salads, rocket, radishes and expect a crop but maybe a bit late for peas and beans.

 

We have just sown some more dwarf french beans (for succession) indoors ready to transplant out.
Also the leeks seedlings have been added to with seeds in the same row.
Swiss chard seeds also sown in between plants, beetroot the same.
Sown some carrots last week outdoors (not a success with us but giving it a go).
Will be sowing some moolis and spinach in the next few weeks.
Plants from shops/garden centres could be for courgettes/cucumbers/melons/tomatoes...ones that you don't need a whole seed packet but just a few plants.
Understand @kristie davies about life getting in the way.
We have given up on following the rules (what are they ) and just give it a go and if they germinate then we are winning, if they don't at least we tried.
Give it a go and all the best.

 

That's great, thank you.

 

Thank you everyone. I am going to go for spinach and beans. Just hope I can dig through the soil now and deter the cat from using it as a toilet.

 

That will be the biggest problem for you @kristie davies . If you have difficulty breaking the soil up, it would be worth adding some manure/compost first so that the growing medium is more suitable. Unfortunately, that would have been better done earlier, but if you add some now, that should help a bit. If the ground is hard due to being dry clay, and hasn't been amended well, then it may not be worth trying to sow or plant anything yet, but you could pot them up - those will grow fine in pots.
Re the cat - a grid of canes, or similar, over the plants might help....
