By the end of June the vegetable garden is full of spring vegetables, berries are ready to eat, and fruit is ripening on the trees.    Summer vegetables are coming along nicely, but not quite ready yet.    Shrubs and vines have been blooming and a few of the later varieties are now budding and flowering.

• Heuchera (leaves)
