Our volunteer cherry tomatoes have gone hard this past week, putting on tons of new growth and starting to fruit as well! Our slicers kind of gave up with the hot spell but are back to flowering and I'm looking forward to some really juicy ones.
This past week has seen me doing more forestry than gardening, though I personally conflate the two (I'm just pruning some rather large plants). I'm in the process of typing a write up to some video I shot which details what I'm doing - I'd like to post the video for you all, but I want to accommodate those of you who don't have the time or desire for ~19 minutes of me talking.
Here is a picture of a bee napping on some Joe Pye weed:
I finally started on a project to improve the flowerbeds in front of my house. I removed the arborvitae and whatever was growing on the ends, replacing them with chaste tree shrubs. I also planted a line of bee balm in front. Hopefully they all take!
Hey nice! I think that post was one of our first few interactions with each other. It's awesome to know you're working on it and I can't wait to see some of your photos - particularly when that bee balm starts advertising itself to your locals!
