The tomato plant has like, I'm not kidding, thirty tomatoes that are almost, almost ripe.
The string bean plant has yielded maybe five, possibly even six, string beans. All of which Kay ate, so that alone made it worth it.
The transplanted flowers from Strong Island have all made it, and the Black-eyed Susans are lately really starting to bloom.
And the herb collection - Lavender, Rosemary, Chamomile and Lemon Verbena - are all good.
Magpie's sunflowers, grown from seed, have all bloomed to her great delight - but given she's eight, not surprise.

| Magpie's sunflowers, three string beans in a row, and proof the lavender plant is indeed lavender. {Ahem.} |
We have not had success with the squash, which I think the local animals have been chomping, and the strawberry plant has also been a no go as well.
But I'm not discouraged. There's always next year.
Do you garden? Are you having a successful year?
