This morning, I checked on my plants on the back deck. All herbs are thriving, and the one cherry tomato plant has blooms and one wee tomato. Rain over the last couple of weeks sure has been nice since I haven't had to water. Rain is so much better for plants than city water.

Rain in forecast for tomorrow but if we don't have a good rain, it's back to watering my plants. My cherry tomato plant has tomatoes, waiting for them to ripen, to see how they taste.

I hope you have a good rain and don't have to water! My tomatoes are only a few inches high - no fruit in sight yet. I did see some flowers on the strawberries though! We only have a few plants, but I'm ready for strawberry season.

My flower and veggies planted from seed have struggled quite a bit. We have a few days of nice weather and then even more days of cooler temps and rain. Not sure what is happening but I don’t like it very much. I’ve never had problems growing marigolds from seed. This year it has been awful.

Heather, here's to you having a bumper crop of strawberries.
Karen, hope the weather gets sunnier for you and your plants begin to thrive.

For the last couple of days & nights we have been under a severe thunderstorm watch but very little rain made it to Paris so I'll watering this morning. I was wakened at midnight last night to a tornado warning. The call said one was on the ground northeast of Paris. Hope no one was hurt and no damage. Haven't heard this morning.

My gladiolas are starting to bloom. Had to tie them up with garden twine because our Texas winds were bending them over. Thunderstorms during the night so we got much needed rain.
The other day I tied the cherry tomato cage to the deck railing because of the high Texas winds.

Sara,I love Glads! Back in my 20's I didn't know you could grow them in a. Home Garden, I thought they were only Greenhouse grown for the florist! They seemed so perfect, I didn't think they could grow out of a flowerbed! My neighbor got the biggest laugh when I saw them in her flower bed and just was in awe that they grew out of regular Soil!!
Lol!!
I planted them years and years out here in the country, the moles ate them every time.
I wish I could see yours!
We have had pop up thunderstorms every day for 2 weeks
. For the last 3 days, yesterday 3 in one day!!

Put my plants in the garden this morning. I started seedlings and they just did not grow well. I planted seeds in March and the tomatoes are maybe 2 inches tall. I blame the dirt, which was for seed starting. I am hoping they will take off in real garden soil. I did purchase a few plants, so I might be over run this fall with tomatoes.

Hope all your tomatoes thrive and you have enough to try drying them. I do like dried tomatoes in spaghetti sauce.

Michele - I'm sorry to hear your seeds starting didn't go well, but it makes me feel a bit better. I tried starting a bunch of seeds for the first time this year and it failed miserably. Hopefully next year will be better for us both :)

Michele and Heather, I am sorry your seeds didn't do so well. I rarely start seeds indoors for this same reason.
I have everything planted in the garden now except for our corn. I will be planting those tonight. My potatoes and radishes have taken off like crazy. I hope everything else does too!
