Tomatoes

The city poured in the new concrete, but they haven't repaired my parkway strip sprinklers yet. I'm toying with the idea of putting in drip irrigation if they don't fix it.

In the meantime, my front and side yards have been completely taken over by the clarkia.













In addition, the coyote mint has just begun to bloom.

One of my woolly blue curls has really taken root:


I continue to get new wildflowers that I don't recognize. Here are three that are just coming in:






The western columbine (which goes deciduous in the winter) is sprouting and blooming:

The California fuschia also survived the digging:


And my tomatoes are doing fantastic. I just hope they're all still here when I get back from my trip.


Three of them are "Better Boy," and one is "Early Girl."




These are some of the Early Girl tomatoes that are growing:
