Container Garden - 4th Week of July
The past week has been an active week for the backyard Granger. The first of the tomatoes are starting to ripen and today I had the first fresh tomato of the season. Tasty.
With joy comes some heartache. Watering is more and more critical, especially now that a heatwave is forecast to begin tomorrow. High winds continue to twist the tomato plants into new shapes and occasionally tip a plant over here and there. The weights on the containers seem to be working fairly well, however. Even with gusts over 30 mph today only one plant went sideways.
The flowers along with the chives and basil seem to be plugging along and are virtually maintenance free.

Ted, I think you are doing a great job on the "garden." Much of this is trial and error. Keep up the good work! MOM ( Kiki)
