Really, summer just got here? We’ve been celebrating for weeks now, but this is the first official day. And here are a few summery things that caught our eye this week:
- Inspired tabletops with a Portuguese flair, from Local Milk.
- Starting to harvest your early vegetables? For fresh ideas, revisit a landmark vegetarian cookbook, newly reissued.
- 10 natural ways to ward off summer’s peskiest pest–the mosquito (rosemary and garlic are on the list).
- For city farmers and sophisticated chicks, an upscale coop partners with a planter, compost bin, and more.
- Speaking of sophisticated chickens, doesn’t this belong in that coop?
- A tropical makeover for your backyard.
- On our wish list: the most delicate Japanese maple ever.
- Keep your cool at summer gatherings with this handblown glass ice bucket.
- How to: Make your garden smell terrific.
- So-Cal living, chez landscape designer Scott Schrader.
- We’ll gladly ditch dairy for this vegan coconut ice cream.
- The ultimate picnic basket (think copper nails and leather lid hinges).
- Love where you grow? Submit your outdoor project to the 2014 Gardenista Considered Design Awards by July 7.
