I have a serviceberry tree on the parking strip out front. It was planted a couple years ago, it's about seven feet tall and the trunk at the widest is about an inch in diameter. It's very slender. I went out this morning to take the stake away. I cut the two ties and lifted the stake out... only to find it rotted away at the base. It was less a stake than it was a splint. The serviceberry's standing free now, regardless.

one of Paul's friends dropped by the other day and gave us a small pot with 4 tomato plants in it. i just went to wally world and bought 2 clay pots 2 tomato cages and a bag of miracle grow potting soil. the two big ones you see here grew together in the soil. i didn't want to risk killing them by separating them. but on second thought, should i cut one of them back at the soil so it doesn't starve the other or will they be ok just how they are?
the other two were little sprouts so i put one in one pot and the other out in the front yard in native soil. just to see what might happen. anyway, i'd like to get some input on the conjoined twins here. lookin' good thar zip!

Gorgeous, Zippyt! Love the variety of tomatoes you have. Salad with garden tomatoes by July 1 sounds divine.
I'm sad that I won't have a garden the next 2-3 summers.  I plan to try herbs and tomatoes in pots - have to see if the cats leave me any. I'll get an extra pot of parsley and one of catnip and have a pair of very happy cats, and hopefully some herbs and tomatoes for me.

Your salad looks great, Zip!
Phlthy: How's your conjoined tomato twin plant coming along? Someone gave my nephew a tomato grower kit. The instructions said to pluck all but the strongest one out. I kinda feel bad doing that. I was thinking of putting them both into a pot but not sure if that's a good idea. Thought I'd check up on yours.
