I trimmed a sucker off one of my tomato plants then put it in a bucket of water for about 2 weeks. These are the roots that developed. I planted the rooted sucker in the pot shown below - it'll be interesting to see if it produces any tomatoes.
See the zucchini hidden in the center of the photo above? It's round shape is quite unique. The zucchini is shown below with 3 cucumbers. Perhaps I should have let the zucchini grow larger before harvesting it.
The sweet peas are finally blossoming and are mixing nicely with the climbing nasturtiums. Nasturtiums are easy to grow from seed but they sure attract the aphids. I'll have to think about whether I want to plant them next year.
This borage plant growing in the pot really attracts the bees.
There is a huge hollyhock at the back of the vegetable garden. As you can see it also is a bee magnet.
Sweet Alyssum is my favourite flower for the veggie garden. These were started inside are are the result of only one plug in the seed tray. Allysum requires very little water and blooms all summer. It's fragrant and attracts beneficial insects.
This is a ladybug on a giant pumpkin leaf. At least the aphids on the nasturtiums attract the ladybugs.
