I'm back in the Bay Area after six weeks in beautiful Southeast Alaska! The contrast is remarkable. In Alaska, we were experiencing a very cool, slow spring, with summer a long way off. Now back in the Bay Area, spring has run its course and is ready to launch into summer. Perennials and annuals are in full bloom, the trees have leafed out, and the temperature highs range from the mid-60 to mid-70℉.

We're on summer watch in anticipation of the summer solstice in several weeks. Some weeding and trimming are needed in the landscape, and I have a list of seeds and starters to plant in containers and the raised bed. These activities are a pleasure when the weather is so beautiful and the days are so long. Summer is not all work though—expect a lot of lounging on the patio, firing up the grill, and goofing off!
