There’s a party in our garden and the tomatoes are gettin’ a little rowdy!
Here is the tomato side of the garden – as you can see they are looking a little wild. I did put stakes in to hold them up but apparently they grew about 2 feet in a week and now I need to re-stake them.
We also have an eggplant plant, LOL! And it has been producing some tiny purplish flowers so that seems to be a sign that it is doing well!
We also have a zucchini plant that I think was really two zucchini plants in one. This spread out pretty well and it has had a lot of zucchini flowers…but I am not sure if the flowers are falling off or something is biting them off but they keep disappearing and it’s making me angry.
On a semi-related note. The plants in between the pine trees in the backyard have been continually growing and growing and growing. You have no idea how monstrous these plants are. They started out as plants that looked like lilies – tiger lilies, or Asiatic lilies, etc… and they just kept climbing. Then two weeks ago they grew these little black pods on the joints where the leaves meet the stems. Hubby thinks they may be collecting water for the plant. Then a week ago they started showing buds and I was thinking “FINALLY!!” – they still look like lilies except for their massive size. I couldn’t take a picture and be in the picture at the same time so you will have to take my word for it – they are TALLER THAN ME! (i am 5’2″) Hopefully we will see beautiful flowers soon.
