Notes from the Garden: June blooms

June is a wonderful month for gardens. A mix of rain and sun makes everything look lush and healthy! If you haven't had time--or don't have space--it's not too late to put together a potted vegetable and herb garden--there's nothing better than heading outside for a few leaves of lettuce and a few snips of herbs.
