June 29 Beds 10, 11 and 64

 enough greens for a salad

a somewhat wasted growing opportunity, but at the time, this garden was on borrowed time

then, good news, the garden is a go until September ...... so found room for a few more tomato seedlings ....

Crushed Heart has set fruit!!

found a few cucumbers and a lone strawberry from my home garden to add to the salad mix

June 28 A Walk Around False Creek

a break from my gardens .....

June 28 Back 40 Tomatoes and More

 it has only been a week since last posting but the plants progress rapidly this time of year ...... also wanted to highlight the Donkey Ears sweet peppers and bush beans in smaller containers; Moonlight Mile's variegated foliage is truly a standout

June 24 'R' Garden

 Checking in ........

time to transplant Jennings Pole Beans and  sunflowers

bee-friendly calendula ..... self sown starting to bloom and the dahlias are making their way up the supports ..... time to tie these in (which I failed to do)

overview ...... succulent strawberry pot looks amazing

and my Lillian cross grow outs ....... Lily T23-68 on the left (from NCTomatoman) and my growout Lilibet to the right; this garden does not grow good tomatoes, but I was desperate for space to trial a few more plants; both appear to be dwarf ...... unexpected bonus for my Lilibet, so it appears there is still segregation happening

and a closer look at the dahlias .... plant at lower left with large leaves is Dazzling Sun .... one of my favourites, and early as well

June 22 - Back Forty Again

just enjoying the back garden right now ....... so a few more pictures

tine for a tomato feed ..... 

will be growing more rununcullus next season, but will perhaps start indoor in early February ..... this one is Pauline
