How Does Your Garden Grow?

Mine grows beautifully, thank you!

When I got my tomato plants a couple weeks ago, the guy at the garden store said I shouldn't expect them to produce any tomatoes until next year.

Next year?

My tomato plants heard that and scoffed.  

Each and every one of them is determined to get some nice, plump, yummy, red and yellow fruit into my tummy.  And they're not talkin' next year.  They're talkin' ASAP.

There's a bit of a "where's Waldo?" factor to this endeavor, but if you look closely, you'll see tomatoes galore, growing their little tomato butts off:

Even more exciting than the tomatoes are my blueberry plants!  

Look what I found this morning:

My first gorgeous, ripe berry.

I took this picture, and then I popped it right into my mouth.

And it was good.

lovely!!

also, your garden store guy sounds like a fool. i am pretty certain that tomato plants are annuals and only live/produce tomatoes for 1 season/year.

blueberries are the ones that you'd much more likely have had to wait, for but it looks like you're in the clear. production on those plants will probably increase in the coming years.

look at you with the green thumb! first, good for you and second, how gorgeous can a blueberry be? you have the miss america of blueberries. tomatoes vying for congeniality at this point. that is postcard perfect.

Oh, my, I've got to get a blueberry bush! That just looks too inviting. How cool that your plants are doing so well! My tomatoes aren't doing anything yet, but here in Georgia, we have a long summer still to go, so fingers crossed I'll get a few.

Oh, those are so pretty! I have a (as of yet non-producing) raspberry plant. It never occurred to me to plant blueberries. For some reason -- having exactly nothing to do with horticulture -- in my head, blueberries grow in the northwest. But California blueberry bush. I might have to check out one of those...
