That’s it!
Clapping, clapping, clapping here! Thanks Red!
Definitely easier on the hands than spelling it out! LOL

Those are pretty! I haven’t grown those in years. Thanks for the reminder. :)
My latest ‘project’ is designing a cutting garden for myself. I haven’t had one of those in years, either. It’s time! :)

I always try to have a row of cut flowers in the garden. This year, I got them out late, it got hot and dry. I now have Lilliputian cutting flowers. Very cute, but it takes alot to fill a vase.
My cosmos are about 6 inches tall, should be three feet. Same with zinnias. The blooms aren’t much bigger than the LIAMS. LOL

I bought them from Burpee.com when I couldn’t find any yellow pear seeds in my area. This is my first attempt at gardening. I planted them in jiffy 7s. I had a whole tray of 12 YPs. This is one of the surviving 4.
I’ve killed a lot of stuff this year. ;-)
I’ve been taking pics of everything since I started.
This particular plant looked ‘normal’ until about 2 weeks after I transplanted it into the garden.

The only “flowers” for cutting or otherwise that I have are really nothing more than weeds as I have never planted any.
There is so much flora along the creek that we have absolutely NO clue what half of it is. We did discover 2 Bay Laurels and even MORE grapes than we initially thought, as well as tons more wild blackberries!!!!
Unfortunately, the Japanese beetles have also discovered all the flora and are doing a serious number on the grape leaves.

I just could not resist posting this picture. This is my collection of harvested tomatoes and (gulp) a few Habanero peppers thrown in.
These were harvested from Sunday morning to this morning (Tuesday) for the most part the older tomatoes are to the back of each row. The ripe ones in the back get canned today!
From left to right Roma, Marion, Early Girl, (gulp)Habanero peppers, and wonderful pink Arkensas Travelers.
In the center is a very ripe Marion Tomato sitting on an 8 ounce container of sour cream (to show size) - man these guys are prolific and very tasty. Nice slicers!

I am going to be harvesting tomatoes for quite awhile - at least until it just gets to hot for them to set. But come late September they will perk right back up and I may have fresh tomatoes into early Nov.

I was born in California and in my early years we had Avocado and fig trees either in our yard or the neighbors yard. Love both.

That’s right rub it in...........LOL!!!
I could grow figs here, but I’m too far north for avacadoes.
I mixed up a batch of Jerry Baker’s anti-Japanese beetle potion which I am going to go spray on the grape leaves those nasty creatures are destroying.

Wow, those are big tomatoe plants! The cold weather has really slowed mine down. It is still getting down into the low 40’s some nights here. My biggest tomatoe plant is only about 10 inches high. They are beginning to flower and develop small green tomatoes. I can see I need to figure out a greenhouse covering for spring.

Larry, you have a very unique ecosystem. Altitude, poor rocky soil and I don't know what else. I am just amazed at your attitude!
