How Does Your Garden Grow 1

Tomato flowers
I am growing 7 different Heirloom tomatoes this year, this one is...
Heritage Persimmon

Broccoli
This little guy is about the size of a dime.

It's been HOT and HUMID for over a week now, with temps of 100F-113F. My garden is growing great! I on the other hand have wilted!

  11. My garden has just stared to take off! I've already had a couple of tomatoes but I think the cool spring is going to make for a smaller crop this year. Love your wee Broccoli!

  13. Karen,
    Don't melt away on us! Your garden plants look good.

    I noticed that my plants are setting a few tomatoes! I can't wait to eat them.

    My peppers bloomed, but I haven't seen any actual peppers yet.

    I have been eating home grown spinach for a few weeks.

  17. Lovely tomato flower and those hairy buds are a delight.
    That sort of eat is no fun. Put on your birthday suit and wrap yourself in a moist sheet, head and all and see how beautifully you cool down.

  46. I love the broccoli - and yes, I really DO love broccoli!

    I'm growing tomatoes this year, too, plus radicchio, peas, lettuce and beans - and one courgette plant. No broccoli though, because I have such limited space!
