That collard plant gives me a plentiful serving of food twice a week. So grateful to have learned about growing those plants.

The lime tree has set its first crop of limes. At this point they are just tiny green balls, but there are lots of them. Fingers crossed!

  

The lime tree itself looks so much better than it did when I got it! All it needs is weekly watering and fertilizing twice a year.

The blackberry Karen gave me is continuing to do well. There were lots of good berries on it most of July. Only problem is the critters ate at least half of them. Still, I had my fill many times.

  

Naked ladies are giving great flowers that smell good right now.

The pepper plants are each giving me a few chiles a week. Thank you Susan!

That pillar of green is my tallest tomato plant. When I planted it I put lots of fertilizer in the hole. What a difference that made!

The shade in the lower left corner of the picture comes off the grape vine. I love standing in my own homegrown shade in the afternoons. Especially on hot days!

     

Tomatoes on the tall tower are very sweet marble sized balls when ripe. So good!

The Stupitche doesn't photograph well, but I"m getting lots of tomatoes from it. They are more acid than the mahogany ones, but also good.

That iris clump is going to be replaced with a tomato vine next summer.

     

The raspberry bush is another green blob, but the berries are yummy!

The Cherokee Purple doesn't photograph well, but I"m getting a great tomato every few days from it.

The Arkansas Traveler is having a second fruiting! The first was much more generous, but this is more of a late season crop than I got from its first few years.

That succulent that was dying on my porch is doing okay in the shade of my grape vine.

  

The blueberry bush is doing fine. Giving it the same attention I'm giving the lime. It needs the cage because in fruiting season it's very popular with the wildlife.
