It’s coming into Summer, getting hot and sunny. I better get my cherry tomatoes and pumpkins going if it’s not already too late. And keep watering the zucchini.

In the hotter weather what do you have planned for your landscape, pots, patch, window box - or even the lone houseplant/cactus in your apartment?

I wasn't going to plant a veggie garden at home this year. We're hoping to move soon, so it seemed like wasted effort - I rented a plot at the community garden instead. But finding a new place has been slow, so we've just put in some leafy greens in the home garden. We'll be able to eat from them even if we do manage to move before end of summer. Hopefully the heat will slow down the grass that likes to take over this bed.

The bed at the community garden came with a lot of leeks. They're very crowded (I suspect mostly self-sown) and we really need to pull some out this week. I'll keep the roots and re-plant them at home to grow new leeks.
