who else is growing veggies or fresh herbs this summer? I recently moved to a house with a lot of space that my roommates aren't using so I was thinking of starting a small potted garden. Dried herbs ain't cutting it. I wanna grow some mint and zuccs since I heard they're impossible to fuck up. But I also heard that zuccs are a fall veg

My main issue is that the space I'd be using is a covered patio, so I'm not sure if there will be enough sunlight. But I live in zone 10, so maybe it'll all even out

(pls post your windowsill gardens)

Give it two more months and it may be warm enough to start on the spring greens.

I grow mint, mostly, zone 6. Considering planting more stuff, but this summer I might move halfway through the US. I want to grow onions and garlic as well, at least.

Mint is the fucking devil, even if it's in a pot it will get out through the drain holes and try to escape, so place it in a drain pan. Good thing about mint is that it likes a lot of water so that wont hurt it.

Zone 8 reporting in. We keep getting cold snaps, so I started seedlings indoors but they went all spindly because the grow lamp I purchased from Amazon is a piece of shit. FML. I'm going have to start all over this weekend.
