Growth
The sky is full of puffy white fair weather cumulus clouds today. The temperatures are still coolish. But I can hear the grass growing in the back yard. Radish and spinach seeds have sprouted overnight. I KNEW they would like the rain!
My two planters by the fountain are full to bursting with dichondra this year. I'm not sure why I'm growing it, but I just like the stuff. However, there's one hardy plant among all that greenery that has a foothold and will not give up.

I guess they feel they have a right to their little plot of earth and that's the end of it. Invasive dichondra be damned.
The tomato plants are still pretty small, but are putting on new leaves. Soon they will be a force to be reckoned with. Here's a few of my little brood. I knew them when they was just pups...I mean seeds.

I have about seven more plants I don't know what to do with. I really hesitate to plant them ALL. I think that would make about 21 plants in the ground. That seems excessive.
(When has this ever stopped you from doing imprudent things?)
Ummm....
Where's my trowel? I think I feel a severe case of imprudence coming on.
(I'm always right about these things... always.)

So pretty, it is clear some flowers just refuse to be forgotten. :)
I have no idea how it can be imprudent to plant more tomatoes. Canning extras is such a good thing.

How do you manage your tomato plants as close together as these? Ours are always 2-3 feet apart and we still have problems in trying to keep them from climbing all over each other.

I'd love to help you with your "excess" plants, but my one container that's big enough is reserved for Sun Drops from Joan. I'm eagerly awaiting those lovely, little, sweet yellow tomatoes!

I went through and thinned out about 7 million morning glory the other day. I hated to do it because I adore them but talk about invasive. I had ONE try to eat my porch a couple of years ago and it almost succeeded so I can only imagine the damage I'd have had this year. I think they like that spot because even at 8 p.m. on a summer evening it's shady enough that they stay open. It's a little freaky to be honest ;)

Oh. The leaves look different. Thanks.
