Flowers and Tomato Plants

 


My friend S dropped off 3 new tomato plants and some annual flowers a few weeks ago.  I told her she was keeping me busy with planting!

From left to right: Pear tomato (plum variety), a couple of Juliet cherry tomatoes (plum/cherry hybrid), some annual flowers, including a begonia plant.  I had previously planted 2 san marzano tomato plants (plum variety) and 2 basil plants. She told me the tomatoes will get bushy and I would get tomatoes in July.  She doesn't protect them from critters and some will get bitten but whatever.  I am hoping the 2 basil plants do well for the summer as that will be it for them when winter comes.  The tomatoes are also just for the summer.

I also really enjoy cutting tarragon and mint from the yard, not really a garden just a few herbs. I suppose I am forming a garden now.

Canada anemone


 This Canada Anemone has been doing well in my yard.  It is a wildflower  that I used Google lens to help me identify.  I had got a plant at a garden booth at some event many years ago. 

It is my birthday today, sometimes the longest day of the year!
