Are you wondering what to plant in June? Some of the seeds you can plant are beans, beets, carrots, corn, cucumbers, peas, summer squash, and melons. I’m so excited to share this post with you today. I really hope you have started a garden, no matter how big or small. I feel we must learn to grow some of our own food, my friends. I updated this post so we can be ready to learn once again about gardening.

OUR GARDENING EXPERT'S TOP TIPS:

June is a great time to sow seeds and plant young plants as the air and soil temperatures are high, which will set your plants off to a great start. However, the heat may also dry the soil out too much, which can prolong plant growth. Make sure to water your plants as often as needed, especially during long, hot spells.

Bula vinaka.....

To all my future farmers and gardeners! You may be thinking to yourself how could I be a farmer? There are many ways to farm, While we farm on several acres and use large equipment, that is not the only option. Did you know you can create your own container garden? You can use buckets, pots, a rain gutter, even a wooden pallet. My challenge to you is to take a look around your home. What containers could you repurpose? Does a local store have pallets they are getting rid of? Is your bakery selling plastic buckets?

Pick the perfect spot for your containers that works for the plants you have selected. For example, if you’re growing tomatoes, you’ll want to pick a sunny spot. If you are trying lettuce which is an easy, fast-growing crop, pick a shady area to protect it from the hot summer sun. If this is your first time growing, pick your favorite veggie or maybe even flowers. The best part of gardening is getting to enjoy it so you want to grow something you like.

Wilt.

Wilt is a very common symptom of plants in distress. Plants rely on the water in leaves and stems to hold them up; without the water the plants will wilt, i.e. the green parts of the plant will hang down limply. Unless water is restored to a wilted plant it will die. The roots or stems or base of the stem may be the affected area of the plant although the symptom will mostly be seen in the leaves. Sometimes it can be just one region of the plant that is affected (indicating a problem in the stem) but more usually the whole plant will wilt. Wilts can be temporary whereby the plant will recover at night but wilt again the next day, this can be normal if the sun is strong and the ground dry but it may also indicate a problem

GROWING LETTUCE

PLANTING, GROWING, AND HARVESTING LETTUCE

Lettuce is one of our favorite garden greens because it is far superior—in both taste and vitamin A content—to the store-bought alternative! Plant in the spring, starting two weeks before frost. In fall, start sowing again eight weeks before the fall frost.
Lettuce is cool-season crop that grows best in the spring and fall in most regions. It’s a great leafy green to grow because it grows quickly, produces for a long time, and isn’t very demanding as long as you keep it sufficiently watered. Plus, it grows great in raised beds and containers, making it ideal for small spaces, too.

Garden-grown carrots are full of flavor and texture! They are a popular, long-lasting root vegetable that can be grown in many climates. Learn all about planting, growing, and harvesting carrots.
Carrots are easy to grow as long as they are planted in loose, sandy soil during the cooler periods of the growing season—spring and fall (carrots can tolerate frost). Depending on the variety and local growing conditions, carrots may take anywhere from 2 to 4 months to mature. Plant them in the spring and summer for a continuous harvest through fall!

You’ve dreamt of becoming a successful farmer, and you’re prepared to venture into the ever-changing world of farming business.

All that is left is to trade in your current job or day-to-day engagements for farming as a profession. Venturing into farming is not an easy decision to make. Any experienced farmer will tell you that pursuing farming requires learning some critical lessons to ensure you’re on the right path to agricultural and economic freedom.

While following proven steps may not always guarantee success, based on my experience, it takes hard work, perseverance and intelligent adaptation to new farming innovations to be a successful farmer. Starting out will not be easy. Let’s have a look at some of the top tips you should consider when starting a small-scale farm.

Develop a thoughtful plan

Successful farming operations are based on diligent planning. A plan will help you decide what type of farming you want to engage in, where and how you will do it. My first vegetable farming business didn't work out well due to simply not having a well-thought-out plan on what goes into proper land preparation. You need to explore different options and pick one that suits you best and go ahead and seek some advice from already established farmers.

Any farming plan must include proper risk management. People get sick, equipment can break down, accidents can happen and the weather is largely unpredictable. In short, anything can happen, so plan for the worst. Proper planning and diligent ex*****on of all on-farm and off-farm activities will determine your success or otherwise on the farm.

Get the right farming equipment

You can’t start farming without the right farming equipment. Whether you’re venturing into small-scale farming, large-scale farming, livestock farming or poultry farming, you need the right investments before starting out. This is where most new farmers fail. According to few construction companies, think through your major purchases, determine how best to finance them and how that investment will benefit you and your farm.

Identify your target market

So you want to grow watermelons, start a vegetable selling business or raise cattle? Maybe you just want to target the local market as I had planned for my first vegetable farming business. But have you done your research well? How will you find sustainable customers? What will you do if they buy all your farm produce? What if they don’t buy and you have got a barn full of a harvest?

You need to figure out where you’re going to sell your products, who will buy them and how you’re going to do it. Once you’ve done that, create a backup plan, because you’ll certainly need it. Without an appropriate market to sell to, you’ll make losses. A solid marketing plan is critical before you even think of planting your first seed or buying your first cow.

Do what you love
Everyone agrees that farming is hard work. So, like me, do yourself a favor and grow something that you love. Like, do you love passion fruits? Then grow passion fruits. So long as you’re matching your land or farm to its suited use, you’ll be on the right path to gaining some meaningful steps forward. It may not seem true, but many of us are driven by finances and so-called traditions rather than our passion when it comes to making farming decisions.

Have reasonable goals
Yes, we all want to be ambitious, but as an Entrepreneur article on how to start farming notes, you need to have reasonable goals if you want to be successful. Remember that a farmer is a businessman first and farmer second. You may be talented, have that visionary plan or even have the finances to bankroll a new farming venture, but you need to start out small and have reasonable goals that are achievable. Find your pace and set goals that you can track.

Manage your cash flow

It’s very important that you track your income and expenditure. Keep all your receipts, invoices and all other relevant documents related to income and expenditure on your new farm. It makes sense to keep records so you can easily track transactions and your financial progress. This way, you can know which months have the highest income and demand for money.

Learn, ask questions and share your knowledge

If you don’t like reading and learning, it’s time things changed. Farming is a progressive venture where learning new skills, farming techniques and innovations as well as sharing knowledge is part of day-to-day life. Don’t just pick up a new skill and apply it. Ask questions regarding how best you can use it to benefit you. There are numerous farm-based training programs where you can learn much more about farming, according to experts at Beginningfarmers.org.

Conclusively, farming is one of the most rewarding ventures today, but it takes good planning, research, training and constant adaptation to changes to be successful. As one old farmer once told me, there’s no better-refined group of people in this world than those who call themselves farmers.
