Here's a Sugar Pie pumpkin that grew quite well in a driveway border garden. I just tossed up a tripod for it, then trained it up. All of the flowers just grew up, and through it.   Peppers and mini tomatoes growing in 4" pots on our deck.  They were extras that never made it out to the garden. |

I love it!  That pumpkin sure is a happy looking vine.Here's a corner of my "tropical" garden. Note the sugarcane on the left and a little globe basil on the bottom right. They fit right in, in my opinion.  |

| They sure do! Those tall and slender plants are such great companions for round shaped shrubs.  |

| A few more. Cantaloupe with roses...  Cucumbers in here...   Onions don't care for my veggie patch, but they do well with my roses!   The roses are also healthier than they were without the onions. |
