At least you have tomato plants. All I have is a collection of way overgrown fig trees, and I hate figs.

But look at all the clothing they give you. :blush:

Thanks for your kind comments, everyone! But I cannot take all the credit. The truth is, my gardening obsession was destined. My mother has always had an interest in gardening and her current yard/garden is out of control - and it seems I inherited all of her green-thumb genes.

When I bought my place, four years ago, it was pretty much a blank slate - previous owners did little more than plant two rose bushes and grow a "lawn" (primarily weeds). Since it was my first place with dirt (condo living is hard on plant lovers!), I went a little crazy.

Funny thing is, I HATED gardening when I was a kid. Mom always made me do the weeding. :mad: How weird is it that 35 years later, I enjoy weeding?

Yes, I am a sick twisted soul. It's part of my charm. :)

Wow - even your plums are different!
I had a friend in middle school who had a plum tree in her garden - it was laden with fruit, but nothing like that!
How low do your plums hang?! ;)

Hope your toms are salmonella free...

Impressive fecundity, well done you.

cool looking garden, zippy! pretty fruits too. just bought some plums this weekend. are yours sweet?

Please stop, your vocab is making me hot.

First time in my life. Last night deer got in my maters. Knocked 12 or so off. Eat, ate,??? maybe one.
I think they'er hunting the moister, more than food?? Dry here.

Where in hell was the dog?

The Japanese Beetles assaulted two of my little plum trees.:mad2:

Sleep, I guess.

Speaking of deer... I have strong suspicions that one of those evil beasties has been stripping the bark off my dwarf Braeburn apple. Just discovered it yesterday. Now there's one MORE plant in my yard wearing a chicken-wire wrapper.

Grrrr. :mad:

Deer keep stealing my rose buds. They are always hanging out in my yard, but this year I have barely had any roses due to their appetites.

know what you mean case, we had to fence ours, our tortoise eats everything but thorns and roots

Something ate all the unripe blueberries of my new blueberry plants. I think next year I'll get some netting.
