The tomato seeds were supposed to produce patio sized plants. Only 2 1/2 feet tall. The seeds must not have gotten the message because they have grown of almost 6 feet! They keep falling over in the too small planter. Many branches have broken and I think I’m done with those two plants. I still have three tomato plants which are of the size stated on the seed packet. They are loaded with green fruit of various sizes and I’m still hoping for red tomatoes before the growing season is over. That will be when it gets cold enough for frost. All the herbs are doing well, the caladiums have been outstanding and the other flowers have bloomed well. Roses are flowering again. I’m very happy how things have turned out this summer.

We didn’t have a very good summer at all. I am glad to finally have some tomatoes to eat, and enjoyed the endive while it lasted and the taters which we still have some.

Pickles from zukes and cukes are canned and will be great this winter.
