Tomatoes on the driveway


Here are the tomatoes which line our driveway. There used to be small shrubs all the way along here, which we took out to make room. This is looking east from the driveway.Click here for an earlier view, looking west, about 6 weeks ago.

Lovely Lilies

For scale! Lilies and one 44 inch tall 4-year-oldbunches of beauty

So many blossoms

Up close and pink

Here is one leftover vestige of the previous owners of our house. He was a landscape architect, so did a lot of nice work, but most of it is in prime veggie growing areas, so we took a lot of it out to make more room for food plants. This bunch we left. They are so beautful and getting more abundant each year. We'll be splitting and planting these all over the yard and giving them to neighbors this fall. They have tomato plants on either side of them, up and down the driveway (see more recent posts).

Making use of space

This is the south side of our driveway... ...and this is the north side:
This otherwise unused space gives us lots of sunny growing areas. The trellises on the side of our house support snow peas (to eat) and sweetpeas and morning glories (for beauty). There are also tomato plants in those cages. They produced wonderfully last year.
