Harvest

There are three or four different kinds of heirloom tomatoes in this basket

I just wish i could remember what they were! My little Jack Russell Rubie went around the garden and pulled out all the name tags from the plantings right after i planted them.... I do know this tho... They all taste wonderful!

The Dog's Domain ~ The Side Yard

This part of the yard has never had anything planted in it except for whatever grows wild, and my morning glories that cover the fence. Because i live in such a small space i have been wanting to grow some of my own food, but didn't know where i could do that. So, here is my little container garden, smack dab in the middle of the dog's territory. I had to put the plants in big tubs so that Zinnia and Pollyanna didn't decide to use the plants for tug of war, and so that Gipetto didn't water them with something other than water if you know what i mean... Even tho this is the North side of the house, this half of the yard gets sun all day long. Just right for sun loving tomatoes!(see...not much grass grows here due to all the 4 legged foot traffic, but my lawn guys are hoping we can let all the wild things grow and cut them back and at least there will be green covering the ground. Who needs grass???)
In this smaller tub i have two heirloom varieties of tomatoes~ Brandywine, and one called Rose. I picked these because i loved the names...I'll let you know how they taste)

And in the bigger tubs we have Early Girl and Big Boy, with a little extra basil planted around them. If it gets too crowded in the tubs i will move some plants to new containers, but i was told i shouldn't have any trouble with this set up...we'll see...)

So, for now, that is it for the gardens here. I'll take more pictures in the coming weeks when the gardens explode with color... Thanks for stopping by!
