Survived the brutal heat wave here. Had to be especially careful to be on the case with the containers. They dry out a lot faster and retain heat more than plants in the ground or in a raised bed. (especially if they are black or dark colored. Some of the flowers had to be moved into the shade due to the heat and high ultra violet light. There has been an invasion of catbirds here. They made quick work of the blackberry bush and strawberry boxes. It was like a race to beat them to the fruit. Herbs, parsley, cherry tomatoes and various peppers are doing well.
Below is a summer salad made up of garden vegetables. Yellow Cherry Tomato, Cucumbers, Red Pepper, Chili Pepper, Parsley, Garlic Chives, Green Zebra Tomato. Only outside ingredients were Shallot and a little Garlic
The flowers survived the heat wave and have been re vitalized by the cooler weather!

Summer arrived early here. We've already had temperatures reach the 90's. (Not so good for sprouts and Pak Choi is bolting already). But, the indoor plants all made it outside
including: Green Zebra Tomato, Golden Cherry Tomato, Basil, Tiny Red Sweet Pepper, Pak Choi, Cayenne Pepper, Thai Chili Pepper. Outside starts include Cucumber and Strawberries. The beautiful Peach Water Lily wintered in the basement and the Rosemary and Lavender that wintered inside are out now too. Going outside now are the beautiful Pink Amaryllis bulbs, Vincas. Bulbs for Freesia and Lily of the Valley are starting up outside.
