So much is afoot here! My garden blog lags a bit in summer because of all the gardening! I have a huge amount of photos archived for posts that will likely happen once the harvest is in.

I thought I would share the voluptuous beauty of some of our Gold Medal heirloom tomatoes with you!

This is an idea that really sings to me! An unattended gumball dispenser dispensing seedballs!

This crowd sources guerilla gardening.

I really hope it takes off!

I thought I would share a quick video that gives you a base line sense for my garden before the growth really starts to take off. Should be interesting when compared to later videos.

Once certain plants are up further, I will be mulching to retain moisture.
