Looking forward to your August pics of your Garden Lynn.

Darrell, I know what you mean about the variations in the color of these seeds. Mine are not as evident as yours, but I have two smaller pots of the Silver Wave Petunia. They hang from an arbor, side by side, with the same sun exposure. Yet one of them has definitely creamy, almost white flowers, where the one next to it has far more of a lavender color. Strange, huh?

Todd, I went and measured Mama brug this morning and she is 3 feet tall. I got this Knightii Brug from a friend in Alberta as a cutting last fall. So don't give up hope that you won't get any blooms. Maybe in the fall. That's when I expect most of my others that look like they are starting to "Y" to flower. BTW, your Phal is beautiful.

I am very proud of my Tumbler cherry tomatos. I grew them from seed and gave several plants away, still leaving me with two large baskets of them. I will definitely grow them again next year.

Marilyn, I guess I was just lucky with the tomatos in my veggie garden. Although we have a few squirrels around, my garden is in raised beds and behind a six foot fence. Of course, we have two cats and a dog, which might also be a determining factor. :)

Here is a close-up photo of a Catananache (Blue Cupid's Dart) for a comparison to a Cornflower.
