Note to Michele: Garden in Late June

Hi Michele,

Here are some photos I took today in my garden.
The blackberries are forming in the berry patch...
and some cherry tomatoes.
 I don't know what these are called even though I've had them for years.
Some blooming cilantro....
And seaweed. Seaweed is amazing for the garden. Full of minerals, I just lay it on the garden bed around the plants. It can also be used for mulch or added to a compost pile. It can also be dried and powdered to add to water like a plant food.

What to do when it is just too Darn hot to Garden?

It has been a very hot summer everywhere. From what I have been told it is normal to get 100 plus days from the months here from  May to Oct...
