The yard is looking good and all of the plants are in full swing. Here are Kristina's tomato plants and romaine lettuce. We have eaten a couple of heads of the romaine lettuce, so that is thinning out, but look at those tomato plants. They are literally growing like weeds. We have added all sorts of support and are continuing to add more each week once they outgrow what we had in there. The sungold plant on the right has a couple of "gold" ones ripening up nicely and tons of green ones still to mature. The black cherry plant on the left has plenty of green tomatoes, but not "ripe" ones yet. Kristina checks the plants each day to make sure they are doing ok. She is anxious to pick her first ones.
In this shot, you can see some basil on the left and her bay plant on the right. Lots of herbs to go into all of her summer cooking!
The basil plants in the next couple of pictures, she started from seeds in the house earlier in the spring, and they have really started to grow. Once the rain stopped drowning them, they have really made some significant progress.
Kristina created the pot on the left and all of the plants are blossoming. This was a mix of plants that she got from the Woodinville Garden Club around Mother's Day and everything is doing well. The plant on the right is a lily plant that Jared bought Kristina for her birthday.
These are our latest additions...trying to fill up a "bare" area. We put some heliotropes, Gerber daisies, lupine, foxglove, petunias, and some miscellaneous ground cover. Everything is doing very well, except that the deer keep eating all of the daisies and the petunias. The flowers are completely gone, but they don't seem to bother the actual plants. Oh well!
And we call this picture, Indy's paradise. There is nothing she likes better than to lay down in the grass and "watch" the yard. What a spoiled little dog!
