Mine is looking great. Tomato plants are about three feet tall. Lets hope the blight doesnt hit this year.

My garden is doing really well, been cutting lettuce, my swiss chard should be ready in about another week or so, if there is no rain tom, I'm going to work on my tomatos, I also have green beans on the vine, they should be about ready and we've been picking strawberries.

Mine is very lush, but I am worried about all this rain.

My tomato plants are LOADED down. As a matter of fact, all my veggies are really doing well. Had to add extra stakes to some of the tomato plants because they are so heavy.

I don't have vegetables this year, but my little rock garden out front, with sage, rosemary, thyme, mint, miniature roses, two dwarf crape myrtles, a nandina, hen and chicks and other low-growing plants, some flowering, some not, is beautiful. I recently added something new, already in bloom - a Calibrachoa hybrid called Superbells - which is covered with little deep red flowers with yellow centers. As long as I keep it watered, each day new flowers open up - and deadheading of yesterday's is not necessary.

After a lot of rain on Wednesday and Thursday, the weather here now is sunny and cool with puffy white clouds and a nice breeze, and every time I look out front, I smile, because my little rock/herb garden is beautiful. The rosemary has tiny blue flowers, a little pink hybrid rosebush I bought for $5.00 in the grocery store is still blooming, and two different ground covers I tried really surprised me - they seem to love the hot morning sun, and bloom continuously -- one has little red flowers with yellow centers, the other blue-purple flowers. Bumblebees and honeybees are buzzing around the oregano, which has tiny pink power-puff flowers, and, to the delight of my cat, little white butterflies dance around the lavender, which has bloomed all summer long.
