Zinnias and Snapdragons

These have grown well since I planted them on the ground. Love the colors, especially Zinnias. The layers of petals that make up the flower, it's nature's magic. Makes me so happy.

Tomatoes

I have about 8 tomato plants, only one is heirloom variety. I am yet to see fruit on this. Most of the tomatoes are pretty small. Roma tomato plant is not doing that well. The heirloom tomato plant is growing well and it has such distinct large leaves. I planted marigolds in front of tomato plants to deter aphids. I also sprayed chili pepper, garlic spray and there is no more aphid problem. Hoping to get some harvest soon.

Dahlias

I planted some Dahlia tubers back in March and it took a long time for them to grow. A couple of them rotted due to over watering. Look at the Dinner Plate Dahlia that started blooming 3 days ago. It's so beautiful. It is a surprise variety because I had thrown away the package and I didn't know what it was. I googled and found out that it's 'Mystery Day'.

Honey Suckle Vine

I bought this vine a month ago from a local nursery, transplanted it in the ground, it looked like it was in a shock. A few days ago, I noticed some new sprouts, Hooray!!! Hopefully it will survive and grow well.
