Garden pics please, I need a pick-me-up. This DU gardening thread this morning was very uplifting:

I didn't want to highjack it w/my request for gardening pics, but I sure could use some. I've seen some of the best here on DU - all those heirloom tomatoes and gorgeous fruits and veggies.

I've just got 4 tomato plants w/lots of green tomatoes on them - 2 early girls & 2 cherries. AND one tomato worm that I've been trying to catch for the past couple of days & from the look of it's poop, it's getting bigger everyday.

I'll have to look back at how I uploaded pics in the past, because I've forgotten how.

I think the tomatoes will be it for me this year, because I plan on doing some close to home trips (staycations) and don't want to worry about watering (supposed to be hot this summer).

2. Try these on for size...

A special showing for you. I’m getting another garden post ready not for a little though.
Story behind the picture…our greenhouse collapsed this winter under 18 inches of snow guess it was tired from the season of growing. Rebuilding the house I fortified the structure with a couple welded wire panels to distribute the weight across a larger area. We also had to replace all the metal tubes that made the structure.

With the leftover remains of the house I concocted tomato cubicles with everything but telephones and desks.

Mostly Romas with a Heinz classic and a couple volunteers.


The other side all Romas but not in a day…they take a while.

5. I've grown stuff all my lifetime...

Had a rather bothersome business I had to deal with for a while but in the spare time my hands were in the ground. My grandfather was a farmer in Poland before he came here bringing all that old world knowledge to pass on.
His mantra was “You don’t have to farm your plants if you farm your soil first.” His was largely permaculture knowledge with techniques not knowing the ‘why’ it worked, only that it did for generations. I endeavored to learn as much as I could about the ‘why’ while employing those techniques.

Soil remediation is a fascinating subject.

6. Oh it's a gift, just like painting, cooking, writing, playing music, dancing... Some people just have

that sixth sense - that innate ability to understand their undertaking. I knew a "cook" (more like a world class chef) here in town. He had the "gift". People who had sampled some of the finest foods in the world would say his was some of the best. My family had the great privilege of knowing his family.

Anyway I really feel gardening and growing things is a gift.
