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?

The zukes seem to be forming flowers. One fell off but others are budding.

The plastic bottles I’m using as makeshift ollas are running the water out way too fast, wasting it. I think I’m going to get smaller bottles and with water inside make a single hole at the bottom… and then adjust the cap to watch the flow. Mark the lid and neck in alignment for that drip speed. Then install them like that in all 4 pots.

Wish I’d sorted this ages ago as this has to be disturbing their roots but I’m doing the best I can.
