🇺🇸 On this day in 1864, Arlington National Cemetery was officially established on the grounds of Arlington House, the former estate of Confederate General Robert E. Lee.

What began during the Civil War as a burial ground for Union soldiers has become the nation's most hallowed resting place, honoring more than 400,000 service members, veterans, and their families.

Arlington stands as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made in defense of the United States and the enduring cost of freedom.

Today, we remember and honor those who served. 🇺🇸

The pot can make or break the plant 🪴 A few things I match first:
🌿 Terracotta works well for plants that like to dry out, like rosemary, lavender, and succulents.
🥬 Plastic holds moisture longer, which helps lettuce, peppers, and annual flowers.
🍅 Fabric grow bags are great for crops that need airflow around the roots.
💧 Glazed ceramic pots suit plants that prefer steadier moisture.
🕳️ Drainage holes matter more than the pot being pretty.
I used to choose containers by looks, but matching the pot to the plant makes watering so much easier.

June is a mix of summer planting and fall planning 🌱 A few things I’d focus on:
🥒 Early June is a good time for warm-season crops like courgette, cucumber, beans, basil, and sunflowers.
🌽 Mid-month is often the last push for corn, squash, pumpkins, and climbing beans.
🥬 Later in June, I start thinking about autumn crops like kale, turnips, leeks, and fennel.
💧 Keep newly sown seeds evenly moist in hot weather.
🌤️ Give leafy crops a cooler spot if your summers get intense.
I like June because it feels like you’re still planting for summer while quietly setting up the next harvest.
