The results of my hard-working green thumb!

I wanted to show off my small but wonderful garden to you guys, as I discovered a real love for gardening this year and it has really paid off! Please excuse some of my less the perfect shots as I am still getting use to a camera with far too many functions then I could ever know what to do with.


Sage:


Tomato flowers:

Flowered Thai and purple basil

Chives


White "puffball" flowers... That is there actual name.


Sad looking Oregano


Parsley



Painted Daisies


Red morning Glory


Dried up looking catnip


Basil- What kind of foodie would I be without at least one basil plant- I have 3 this year but not of them are doing very well.

Golden Lemon Thyme


Purple bleeding hearts--- I love these flowers!

Purple Hibiscus plant


Scarlett runner bean flowers

Scralett runner beans

Whole vine shot.


Lemon boy tomatoes- My favorite!

San maranzo... Very meaty and creamy, with little juice

Sweet golds, turn yellow-orange-gold when ripe.

Yellow Pear


Brandywines... turn dark pink, light red when ripe, and they all get cracks on them


Pablano pepper, the only lonesome pepper that grew


Holy moly pepper. Turns dark brown when ready to pick



Hungarian wax peppers


A shot that shows how tall some of my tomato plants have gotten, the fence is 6 feet tall, and some of these plants surpass the fence by more then a foot.

More tall tomatoes.


Pretty cat shot--- Delilah


Shiloh- Usually called Bebe cat


Hope you enjoy the pics of my garden, as I know I love looking at other peoples pictures of their gardens!

The one you have labeled as a purple bleeding heart... is not a bleeding heart. it's called a fuscia. that is the name of the actual flower. Fuscia.
