Summer is here and the main tasks on the rooftop are watering and harvesting.
Remeber to water constantly, because an hot day could kill or seriously damage the plants.
However, don't 'drown' plants: too much water could damage them too.

Harvest is a satisfying work: plan the harvests, so you can cook or store everything, avoiding waste.
