We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.

By June, the growing season is well underway for much of North America, even if it's in its earlier stages at my Colorado mountain home. The last patches of snow are gone, and my mental Home Depot shopping list is ready to go from ideas to reality. This month, I'm ready to take full advantage of extended daylight. Planting, yard maintenance, outdoor builds, and relaxing are all vying for my time this summer. Hopefully with the right supplies and some extra coffee, I'll be able to accomplish my most important tasks while balancing some comfort and relaxation along with all that hard work.

My husband and I live on five acres in the Rockies that require lots of attention. We make the most of the land with eco-friendly practices like gardening, composting, line-drying our laundry, and building features like a greenhouse and bee hives. I've gardened and worked with my hands for decades — very often unsuccessfully. Despite plenty of failures, I've accrued a decent store of wisdom about growing and building things along with habits that help us tread lightly on the planet. It's no surprise that our home and land have lots of summer needs, both inside and out, that involve both work and fun. Home Depot has a huge array of supplies to help me meet those varied needs.

I can't waste any more time waiting to get the vegetable garden going. Luckily, Home Depot carries seeds for lots of the best vegetables to plant in June. For my zone 5 garden, the time is right for scattering carrot and salad seeds and poking peas and beets into the soil. Home Depot's Back to the Roots seeds are organic and come highly rated for just under $3 a pack. I'm definitely picking up envelopes of heirloom 'Scarlet Nantes' carrots, gourmet blend lettuce, and 'Snap Sugar Daddy' peas for my own kitchen garden.

Hot summer days are perfect for drying your clothes outside, and a rig like this Brabantia Rotary Clothesline is just the ticket for handy, compact drying. For only $115, the highly-rated clothesline is inexpensive for what you get. You can adjust the rack's height, and it slides onto a spike you sink into in the ground, making it removable for storage. The clothesline is also collapsible and comes with a cover for when you're not using it. The unit is designed for long-term use; it has a five-year warranty, and the lines are replaceable once they wear out.

I love our DIY compost bin, but it has occasionally attracted wildlife we shouldn't be feeding. I'm tempted by the RSI 65-gallon Two-Stage Compost Tumbler with Cart. Happy reviewers share that its design keeps odors to a minimum and is inaccessible to most visiting wildlife. At $349.99, it's costly, but if "time is money", this product returns on the investment. The crank is easy to turn, and the two compartments allow batches of compost at different stages. Plus, a hatch on its underside makes it nearly effortless to dump finished compost into the cart below.

Even the best cordless power tool brands could use backup battery packs. To keep my projects rolling without waiting for batteries to charge, I certainly could use a few more batteries. A set of Ryobi ONE+ 18-Volt Lithium Ion Starter Kit is just what my Ryobi ONE+ tools need. The kit comes with both a 4Ah and a 2Ah battery plus a charger for only $99. The batteries make hours of work possible with COOL-CORE temperature management. After all, a cooler battery pack means more efficient energy use.

On the subject of staying cool, living without air conditioning is getting more uncomfortable every summer. When it comes to reducing heat in our home, the Costway 340 MFM 3-Speed 4-in-1 Portable Evaporative Cooler sounds like a dream come true this year. Currently on sale for $89.98, this is a small price to pay for keeping cool. This model cools up to 250 square feet with the help of a water reservoir and can follow us from room to room. Its three speeds regulate airflow, and the four modes control cooling and noise levels.

Nothing beats stretching out on a shaded hammock after a hot day of yard work. The Sunnydaze Quilted Double-Fabric Two-Person Hammock is made for you and your better half and is priced at a reasonable $86.95. The solid fabric with no holes for paws to slip through makes it comfy for any pets joining you. The durable striped fabric comes in eight pretty colorways, and its detachable pillow stays in place with the help of a few buttons. The hammock comes with hanging chains, but will need a hammock stand or additional rope for tree hanging.

When I'm ready to rest or entertain, wet cushions on our outdoor furniture can really dampen the mood — along with our jeans. If you live in a spot with regular summer rains, keep your outdoor sofa ready with a waterproof cover like the KHOMO GEAR Outdoor Patio Loveseat Furniture Cover. At $42.98 for the 88 inch-long model, it's not the cheapest waterproof cover Home Depot sells, but its heavy-duty rating and plenty of satisfied reviewers make it worth the extra expense. It comes in 10 different sizes, and it also provides ventilation and UV protection.

When the sun has set and we and our guests are gathered on the thankfully dry outdoor sofa, a bit of lighting always makes the scene more welcoming. I'd love to plug in some Hampton Bay Plug-In Edison Patio String Lights. A 48-foot string would set us back just under $25 and brighten our outdoor living room for years, if we have the same luck as many other reviewers. Other selling points are their bright yet warm light, how easy they are to install, and that each package comes with two replacement bulbs.
