I think I’ll build a tomato trellis every year from now on. Maybe two. I love the look of it, and how the tomatoes just vine right up it, and how I can even attach the zucchini vines to it with a little twine.

Nasturtium
I started some Nasturtiums from seed this year, to pick up on the color of the dwarf Japanese maple in the Early Spring border (which isn’t particularly colorful in the summer).
This is the only bloom so far, but I do like the pop of color it adds. Hopefully the chipmunks don’t eat it right away.

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: July 2020
Blooms always seem to be scarce in the heat of mid-July — especially when deer have eaten the lilies. I think some deer-resistant, drought-loving native plants are in my future.
As always, many thanks to Carol of May Dreams Gardens for hosting Bloom Day on the 15th of every month!

Me being me, of course I would get a poison ivy rash on my face the day before I’m scheduled to be back in the office in person.
