We all love photos, no? The best of the bunch is at the very bottom, by the way. (Alliteration for the win.)
Here are my potato plants as of today. As you can see, they’ve gotten significantly taller than the garbage can they’re in. I wonder how tall they’ll get before they stop. Any bets?
As a reminder, here’s how they looked a month ago, complete with cayenne pepper powder to keep critters away.
I bought an heirloom cherry tomato plant at the Cheney Mansion Plant Sale earlier this season. This is a tumbling tom yellow, which grows well in containers that allow it to hang.
The dust you see is leftover cayenne pepper powder, not a disease. The fruits may be orange, but they’re still delicious.
This cayenne pepper, currently growing in a deck container, is about ready for harvesting. Interestingly, the squirrels haven’t touched it. 😉
Nor have they bothered the neighboring Melrose pepper – also purchased at the Cheney Mansion Plant Sale.
Thank you, rosemary plant. You helped season our spaghetti sauce tonight.
Fresh herbs make all the difference, don’t they?
My blackberry bush is in its very productive second year and I can’t wait for these to ripen and darken.
So, what’s going in your yard? Have anything tasty you’re about to harvest, or any pretty flowers? Got links to photos? I’d love to see, so please do share in the comments.
