Hard to believe, but the very compromised rose plants are putting out a few blooms. I dunno, maybe there is hope afterall.
'Orange Marmalade' flower. Never heard of it until this year, it was cheap. lol I like it though. Needs some food, and then I'll see what it can do. I've neglected it fully in the greenhouse for the last month so I'm impressed it's given me any flowers! Leaves are SO shiny.
This is definitely one of the more shocking turnarounds this season. 'Ojo de Venado' - worst tomato seedlings on earth, and when I upotted them the 1st time the sprouts were not only just barely over an inch tall (when they should have been at least 6), the green tops were dried up and very cruddy looking. Like they didn't even have proper sprouted leaves. Even now I can't think of why I proceeded to try and pump hope into it by moving into a bigger pot. And things still didn't improve every much. I can barely wrap my mind around the fact that this is the same plant.
I'm keeping a close eye on which toms are the earliest to make fruit, not many plants have tomatoes on them yet. But 'Turboreactivnyi' (both the potted specimen as well as the in ground one) has a little load on it already, though the others are mostly just starting little fruits. This is 'Northern Delight', and it has some wee ones. Another called 'Heronland Early' is actually farther ahead than this but I forgot to upload a picture.
Horseradish jail.
In keeping with the tragic comedy theme for blooms this year, just as the delphiniums started to flower we got a 12 hour spell of rain. Everything is leaning and soaked, but I'm hoping they can perk up once they dry. This was taken the day before the deluge. Will post a better pic if things improve. This perennial has proven to be one of my favorites, both for their looks but the longer bloom time than the peonies & that they can stand up without help, and you can collect seed from them. So I planted about 4 more young plants this year. I'm impressed that they are so big already, some of them might even put out a little flower. I really want to get one of those very pale baby blue ones.
