I can hardly believe it, but at least some parts of the gardening effort are thriving! The front porch tomato plant (with buds!) and its friend, Bean's pink snapdragon:
Four little pumpkin hills with almost vines (instead of just big leaves sticking out of the ground):
The garden with no longer free-range tomatoes (into the cage with ye!) and a lovely (except for holes in the green...darn buggies) row of radishes. There are some tiny beets intermixed, but I'm not sure they will survive radish harvesting. There is the odd fluff of carrot greens in the carrot row. I don't know if they are just slowpokes or if someone is dining on them.
The herb plots appear to be kind of a bust so far except for one little lonely fluff of cilantro:
Again, they may just be slowpokes, so I'm not writing them off yet. And, finally, our newest addition Hin II, a sungold tomato plant in a Topsy-Turvy. I thought we would give it a shot since we really didn't have another place for out new tomato plant!
So far the poor thing is trying to do gymnastics to get right-side-up. Hopefully, it will bow to the inevitable and give in to gravity. I'm considering this an experiment...I'm curious to see how it comes out!

Ooh...just look at those dishes of lettuce and radishes...edible garden products already!
I considered buying a Topsy Turvy tomato planter myself this year, but dug out a Stella D'Oro lily instead to put in an extra tomato plant in my flower garden. Our neighbors have used the Topsy Turvy for a couple of years and seem to have good luck with it. If you have like it, I may succumb to using one next year.
