What Vegetables to Plant in June. Once you are confident that frosts are over, plant out, tomatoes, aubergines, peppers, sweet corn, runner and French beans. Outdoor tomatoes should be 15-23 cm (6-9 in) tall, with the first flower truss just showing.
These stalks rob the plant of vigor. Otherwise, refrain from harvesting petioles the first year. The second year you can harvest a few stalks, but not more than 1/3 of the plant.
