Author Message   Lesliedon2000  My Weather Posted on Monday, July 17, 2006 - 11:39 am:    I can't wait until next year. It's generally been my mantra when talking about my garden. So many ideas to incorporate, but you won't be able to see them until, well, you know. This year has been successful and I've been really happy with the payoff from all the hard work. But (isn't there ALWAYS a but??!) I see so much more that needs to be done. In the June and July garden I have realized that I really need to be sure I plant in big groups. I also have learned that I need to be ruthless with things that nature just sprouts up. One example of this a volunteer tomatoe plant that came up right in the garden, and right next to my clematis trellis. How cool I thought. Well, it turned out to be a grape tomatoe, that is so full of fruit it has pulled down the trellis. Lots of grape tomatoes though!! Anyway, here's the progression. I've really got to clean up the rock border. Over the years the rocks have shifted and the ants have built mounds and the whole thing just looks unkempt. Early March and Early April.I just love the garden in the early morning fog. Isn't it amazing the difference a few weeks make? May 16. Not much happening in the May garden. All the tulips are through. June Garden looking pretty. Thank goodness for annuals. They are keeping my July garden alive!

You have such a pretty setting. Thank April fog photo is my favorite. I was hoping to see a picture of that overgrown tomato!!!

Great transformation of an inviting garden. Charles - Wisconsin, Zone "4b"   Birdgarden  My Garden Journal Posted on Monday, July 17, 2006 - 07:54 pm:    You are doing a wonderful job! I do love the fog photo too. Looks like things are really filling in nicely.

It's to the right of the coneflower: If you don't hear from me again you might send out a search party (bring the salt, and maybe some mayo and bread!). Lesliedon2000 - Georgia, Zone "7"   Suzyqt1968  My Favorite Photo My Garden Journal My Weather My Garden Posted on Monday, July 17, 2006 - 10:34 pm:    Definitely a monster!! Thanks for sharing. I had a cherry tomato plant come up volunteer one year. I wasn't even going to have a vegetable garden that year so I hadn't put out tomato cages..it took over like yours. Only difference is at that time I didn't even have flowers. It just climbed all over the fence and grass! I think the ones that come up on their on are the strongest.

It is currently about 4 metres long from end to end. It did not die with the outside ones when the frost hit, so I'm curious as to whether I will actually get winter tomatoes from it - there's lots of huge green ones on there! It's a bit of a nuisance, but I haven't the heart to remove it. Greth - South Australia, Zone "?"
