We are into some heat in west Michigan too. I started just going to the garden every other day to pick and maybe tie some still growing plants. And pull a few weeds. Everything is growing great. If anything we planted so much in the same place there’s not a lot of weeds. Stuffed a bunch of shishito peppers with a cheese blend and filled the jar with olive oil. Made a few jars of refrigerator pickles and already gave one to a neighbor. Second crop of romaine coming up nicely.

The only produce I have going on are tomatoes ... Sungold in particular ... several quarts already. I have 2 ripe Celebrity tomatoes - most are still very green. There are some jalapenos, but not enough for a batch of poppers, plus I need red ones for jelly.

Blooming, but nothing yet: cukes, bell peppers & bush beans.

Zinnias are doing great & so are some giant sunflowers I planted a couple of weeks ago (about 18 inches tall). I did plant a 2nd bed of zinnias - should be ready, along with the sunflowers, in the fall for the birds to pig out on the seeds.
