the last of the tomatoes, i've run out of room in the garden for more. and the second round of watermelon seedlings after i killed over half of the original lot when i transplanted them to bigger pots.

this was supposed to be chinese kale, but this bin keeps sprouting tomato seedlings by the ton. i think either the tortoise pooped out a bunch of tomato seeds that got mixed in the bin, or else ate a lot of tomatoes in this bin and the seeds got scattered. seriously this bin has sprouted three different rounds of excessive tomato seedlings! and i sure as heck didnt plant any in here.

the cantelope vines were getting REALLY long, stretching out everywhere.

this front garden isnt doing so well. the three sedum i had there werent doing well because i kept watering everything else they were interplanted with. the canterbury bells in the middle really took off this year. they're biennials. last year they were just weird little flat green plants. this year they're 2-3 feet tall!

the tulips did well, and of course i forgot to get a picture when they were all in bloom. and the orange daylilies are going gangbusters.

this weird plant popped up next to the canterbury bells. each of those little round leaf looking things, upon closer examination looked a little more like elm tree seeds. i dont know what it was, so i yanked it out.
