And this is my only tomato plant (out of 7) that has fruit already!

Everything's coming along nicely, thanks to my little helper.

And I'll leave you with this quote. I think it's from an old hymn. I could not find the source.

Increase our faith when fruitless seems. The toiling hours o'er vale and hill; Teach our discouraged hearts to feel. Thy kindly hand is leading still.

  1. Your garden looks great! Thanks for leaving such a sweet comment on my blog. The carnival carrots have the same leaves as other carrot tops. If you look closely, you might be able to see them in the pictures. They are pretty long, about 18-24" carrot tops. And you should have little carrots in the ground, if you don't, they might not have grown this year. We're going to plant more in September. The taste should be sweeter.
