These are from just two days ago! The front porch tomato has gotten taller than its cage and has several green tomatoes:
The pumpkins appear to be planning world domination, starting with the entire rocky area. Tomorrow, the whole yard; the next day, you might want to be careful when you go out your front door...I'm just sayin'
We have had tons of blossoms, but have only found three little pumpkins so far and all three are sugar pumpkins (pie pumpkins). I really hope we get some jack-o-lanterns, too, or the kidlings will be disappointed! There is plenty of time yet, so I'm not worried yet. Here are two of our tinies (the third picture was even blurrier than these two...)
The herbs. Top row: cilantro and basil, second row: oregano and sage (not rosemary as I said in the last post)
It was clear from the start that Hin was more than slightly neurotic and refused to have anything to do with upside down. If you look at the previous post the vine is grosing in a very insistent U-shape. However, just a couple of days after the last batch of photos, a wind storm finally managed to make Hin see the error of his ways. After a windy night, I went out to check on Hin and discovered that the bottom of the U was now the middle of an S:
Right after the wind, you could see daylight through the broken stem, but the branches beyond the break have continued to flourish, so it appears all is well and no major veins or arteries (or the plant equivilent thereof) were severed. The broken part has even filled in a bit since then.

Ooooh...Hin is one sturdy guy, it would appear, albeit kind of set in his ways! It would appear that you'll be having a bumper tomato crop and, hopefully, enough pumpkins for carving, come October.
Looking good! (I always wondered if tomatos planted upside down would try to right themselves).
I'm THAT IMPRESSED! And you can KNIT with those green thumbs too....
