garden update
remember the tomato plants I put into containers in May? Well, they are amazing! Better then I ever expected. They are growing like crazy-
The “containers” are holding up pretty well although one has a hole in the side. It is not causing any problems as of yet. The plants are covered with green tomatoes. And, this morning, I pick the first tomato off the cherry tomato plant-
You can ignore the dirty gardening hands…
In the front of the house, the flowers are looking great- crocosmia and poppies- perfect reds.
coreopsis “moonbeam” and a self-seeded lavender-
and the alliums in the garden-
and the ones I’ve been pulling out before they drop any MORE seeds!
