More Garden Updates

So, our townhouse association had the patios painted. It was supposed to happen earlier in the summer, but it fell into mid-July instead. By this point, my garden was well established. However, with great care we moved everything away from the fence and railings and then waited for the paint to dry.

It was only a couple of days, but there were some winds and my poor flowers suffered a bit of excitement...

Happily, they bounced back ok. My tomatoes are still growing more leaves than tomatoes, and the weather's been too hot so the few that are growing aren't turning red. (the internet said if I brought some green ones inside to ripen they might fare better.. so, I've got a couple inside to test the theory)  My peas did climb up the lattice.. and a few little white flowers bloomed but, so far, no peas as of yet. Fingers crossed the cooler weather will encourage things to progress.

My three tier planter is doing well. I'm enjoying watching the morning glories climb the ropes.

Here it is all put back together, with newly freshened paint.

Overall, my tomato is a bit frustrating - no red tomatoes and all. However, things are going along pretty well for my little patio garden!
