Beautiful!

I love gardening, but this and last year I have huge problems with my back
so I let it go... :(

what is the name of that pinky plant on the first picture in the last there?
is that a kind of Rose of Sharon?

Botts, are your tomato plants planted into the ground? Right now, I have tomato plants growing in pots but they are getting bigger..... wondering if I should put them in bigger pots or put them into the ground.

Our tomatos are in really big planters. They will just go the whole season in the planters.

They get watered every day and tomato food once a week.

They also have wire fencing to protect them from the abundant wildlife.
 
This is a tomato that something ate despite having wire protection.

your toms sure do look yummy, Miz Botts, wow !!!

I love tomatoes, btw. I wish I could grow them, too,
but in our wet BC climate they tend to get black spots a lot and taste sort of rotten.
Unless one get good roof made for them, is not easy to grow them...
sigh..

But I do have one small pot of cherry tomatoes which are pretty easy to grow as they can be grown on patio. they are quite tasty and disappear quickly, lolololol

Botti, your pictures make me feel as if I am actually there smelling the pretty wild roses, the piney rosemary and the unmistakeable tomoto scent. Your back yard is totally wonderful.
(sniff...mine is brown and crunchy but Kristinab said she would try to send some of their rain this way)
In complete envy!!!

Here is the back deck in its new blue color with the wet paint blocked to the dogs and drying in the sun.

I think it's about 40 miles away. :lol:

My husband says it will have dimmed and be pretty scuffed by November.

Well, it is a "double decker" car, but I don't think I'd be able to see that far. :lol: Maybe if you put up those spot lights businesses use to get people to find them, I'll find your house. :hmm:
