WRAPPING UP JUNE

June has been most unusual this year.
It almost seemed as if Mother Nature was attempting to squeeze all four seasons into one month!
Plants are very confused, with some of them lagging behind and some quite a bit ahead of schedule.

I am thoroughly enjoying the daylilies. Flowers are plentiful and the majority of them are much larger than normal. Some remain the same, while others are a good two inches larger than average.
Example: These two lilies are usually the same size.

” Snowy Apparition” (With two photobombers) and “Tropical Sunset” (the smaller daylily)

SUMMER BOUNTY

I spotted some tomatoes today on my Cherokee Purples, as big as eggs. It won’t be long now!!

These Juliets are the absolute best if you only want to grow one variety.
They don’t know what the word “quit” means!!

IT’S HAPPENING

That eagerly awaited first ripe tomato is on it’s way!

Cherokee Purple is very unfamiliar to me. I’m sure I have grown them in the past, but I don’t remember if I liked them or how well they grew and prospered in my garden.

They seem to be maturing in leaps and bounds after a slow start from transplanting in May. The seeds were started in my greenhouse in late March.

Plants are nearing the top of their 5 foot support fencing and are full of bloom and small tomatoes.

ADDITIONS

I guess “Tequila and Lime” should go into the white collection.

White lilies by name. I think Snowy Apparition is in there twice.
