i love my flowers
















the big haul... i got almost 30 tomatoes from my weak little tomato plant ~ it has finally started growing and producing. now i have to fight the bugs, snails and birds. it is frustrating to see who gets there first (as it seems it is rarely me ugh)




this is my passion vine. it has been one hardy plant. it pretty much all but died in his pot thru the heat and drought last year. as i did not have a place to plant him. he is pretty happy now and hopefully can survive the lime green caterpillers that have started munching on him from the bottom up.
my purple katie. (i love any purple colored flowers, unfortunately there aren't that many out there) long story on this... we had this plant at our last house and did not know what it was but i loved it... spent all last summer looking for it without luck. then kirk happened to stumble on it this spring. i bought them right then and there. they have not disappointed look how happy they are.

now my hardy hibiscus. i love this flower. (apparently the widows love this flower too ha )such big blooms it gives. (almost as big as sam's head)it has been loaded with flowers but i never thought to take a picture of it until today when there was only one bloom. looks like a lot of buds coming out, i will take another pic when it is full.

the 4 o'clocks. i started them as a seed this spring. they have taken a while but all the sudden gotten full. unfortunately i have to wait til 9 o'clock to see the blooms!! you should see how pretty they are around midnight ha.
