Rita that is a wonderful garden for beauty.
All the hanging plants remind me of working at the Mn Zoo we had a lot of those, I even made one, and Sharon used to, THANK GOD, used to have a lot more hanging pots like that.
It looked fantastic but I do not miss between the hanging and ground based trying to save twice what she has now and she had not even half of what you had.
This year up here, or down, as relative to some in the North, the nasty, hot-humid, weather has so far been a huge boon to the veggie garden and Sharon's flowers.
I finally discovered what I thought was an invasion of Sunflowers actually are Tomatillos.
I ripped out most, saved a few but they are still showing all over; as are volunteer tomatoes.
I would not have to have boughten any tomatoes as I had at least a dozen volunteers and some are not far behind the purchased ones.
The onions which were three from a TOTAL failure last year are doing great; enought lettuce plants finally showed up for a salad or two; there are a few carrots also finally showing their face but with all the dill, it has become a weed, I may have pulled by accident.
This is all my North garden and the corn and potatoes seem to be flourishing.
Chiles , look, real good but are only a foot tall plus the mound I have around the garden, the plants on it tomatoes, chiles and onions are probably going to have been planted too close together later on as I pulled out the last Brussel Sprouts, did not want them and replaced them with broccoli and volunteer tomatoes.
Three of the four Brussel Sprouts did not seem real healthy and pulled way too easily plus after pulling the one that seemed healthy, pulled out real hard, I said bye-bye.
South garden potatoes are doing well but as it is weeks behind the one up here, time will tell how it goes.
Corn was just planted and after last years total failure it can only get better.
