The tomatoes are looking great. (I love the "pot o'fire" name for the container of hot peppers.) I like the new header; are those some of the Allium cernuum I gave you?Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641149820652708910.post-14610776100710325742010-07-27T05:07:16.048-07:002010-07-27T05:07:16.048-07:00Welcome back, Rose.

My cucumbers are invading the whole garden, and for a long time I wondered, too, if I would get any fruit. In the past week, though, I have picked so many that I'm looking for pickle recipes:) Sometimes all they need is patience--something I'm lacking with my tomatoes, lots of fruit but none ripening yet.<br /><br />As for color schemes, I've decided they don't really matter. If a plant is happy where it is, I say leave it! Congratulations on all your monarchs on the milkweed. If the pollinators are visiting, then your garden is doing well!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641149820652708910.post-27857216668842963902010-07-26T20:25:56.844-07:002010-07-26T20:25:56.844-07:00Good to see you back Rose!

Love the cardinal flower, and love the butterfly shot, and love your nodding onions header.<br /><br />Cutworms got my first cucumber seedlings, and the second planting here is just starting to flower. I had tons last year, so it's kind of dissapointing. Mine did great in part sun.<br /><br />The squash, although they did finally produce a few fruits, about took over the world (well, at least the trellis,) so I reluctantly decided not to grow them this year. They seem to really need full, blazing sun to be fully productive. It's still plenty early for both cukes and squash though. They do seem to take a while to get going, but once they do, hopefully they'll be very productive for you.<br /><br />Nothing wrong with a pink and red color scheme. Nature does it, so why can't you!garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.com
