Some Tomatoes Harvested and On the Assembly Line

The tomato assembly line plant below.

Poppy Bunch

Large bunch of poppy plants sown in spring, I wonder if they will flower next spring?

Homemade Pizza

Simple Italian style pizza with sausage.

Blooming Geraniums

Blooming geraniums in the rain, I should have taken a picture yesterday before the rain knocked so many of the petals off.

Daylily Planters

The planters I made for my new daylilies out of 65 liter storage bins. I added holes to the side for companion plants, there is very little space to work with here. A 2 inch layer of recycled styrofoam was added to the bottom for drainage and aeration. There are also filler holes leading to the airspace where the foam sits to allow watering from below during hot periods. The ground is a mix of composted manure, peat moss and humus, with some black earth on the bottom for filler.

New Daylily Plants

I decided to grow some fancy daylilies, these were ordered from a nursary Hemerocallis Montfort in St.Sauveur Quebec. I had some second thoughts about having spent $50 on plants but the what they delivered is impressive and healthy, all of them are clumps and/or multiple plants even though they only promise 2 'fans' (shoots), these will come up great in spring. Thumbs up for this nursery. they are in my growing zone, it's always a good idea to order from a place with your climate, ordering from another climate could suck.

Vine Geranium

This is a great plant, it has grown and produced constant flowers for many years. Indoors in winter , outdoors in summer, cut back when it gets leggy.

Big House Plants

Late Watermelon

Probably not going to make it big before frost but it tried.

Rooted Tomato Clippings

Rooted cuttings from the tomato plant in the previous post.

18 Tomato Bunch

This is on a tomato planted quite late, I planted a few seeds right out of a store bought tomato, so it's a commercial variety. It has proven to be very robust, resisting insect and fungal damage, it also doesn't seem to mind the heat much and grows fast on a thick stem, great plant to grow as a sure thing in the garden.

Zebra Mallow

This is some Zebra Mallow planted in spring, it's in constant flowering mode right now.
