What's blooming in your yard?

What happened to the foliage on your tomato plant?

I don't know . It just grew that way. I go it from Costco

I got mine at Costco also, they were so pathetic I ripped them out

Although the coleus and snap dragons from there were ok

This is what my "garden" looks like

Wow, looks like you're way ahead of me! Here's my cherry toms:

Same here. I watered and fertilized them and they would start to curl and look withered so I chopped them!

giant size tomato plants in the flower bed. Ones in the garden are about 3/4 size.

Cilantro has already gone to seed:



A friend I met, he kept buzzing on the glass even though the window was wide open, got a pic then showed him the way out

Tweety,
Your tomato plant is humungous...looks like it's ready to swallow that bee balm! I have phlox envy...can't grow the showy nice ones here.

muggos,
If you like lemon-scented herbs, you should try growing lemon verbena...the smell is divine!

I'm a rebel in this bloom thread...posting a picture of some Evans cherries that are ready to go...I'll make a pie or two and then let the birds have the rest. They don't keep very well after picking and I've frozen some before only to toss them a few months later. They are sour cherries but if left until really ripe, you can eat them fresh (not like sweet cherries though).

Those look great! Could you maybe make a compote then freeze that?

Thanks muggos,
I've never made a compote before...made some jam though. Only the pie is a hit with the family. Seems a bit of a waste, but I don't have any neighbours I'm friendly enough with to give them the bounty (I used to have the most fabulous neighbours on both sides!).

this is what bloomed this morning on my deck! So proud of myself!! I have never planted bulbs before (let alone in a container garden) and it turned out so pretty. There are about six more blooms to come and a whole other plant that will have red and white flowers (I think). So sorry about the large pic, I am still learning how to make them smaller.

Won't you be my neighbour?

I now have spaghetti squash that is flowering in my garden.

MomOfOne,
Nice lily! Could it be one called Lollipop? I have that one.
