This is how tall this tomato plant has gotten. It’s over 8ft now and still going.

Viva Italia!

This plant is in the topsy turvy. At first I didn’t think much of the whole upside-down system – put after this season’s atypical cool and wet weather, the topsy turvey tomato has come out on top!

Getting big!

The topsy turvy is finally up!IMG_0323gIMG_0315g

In the topsy turvey I planted “Viva Italia!” – a paste tomato. It started growing downwards, but now it’s going up!

Pretty cool.

Cosmos (Knee High), my eggshell sunflowers, and then something I'm starting in an eggcarton in the back. I can't remember what's in it.. Poppy maybe.

Parsley and Chammomile. They're growing pretty tall so I've started cutting them back to encourage bushiness.

I can't remember what these are - but yes, they are in toiletpaper rolls.

I can't remember what these are - but yes, they are in toiletpaper rolls. They look a little spindly, probably because the dirt level isn't that high, so I may try to plant them deeper in.

An extra squash plant I thought I'd keep around as backup in case my EarthBox squashes didn't work out.

This is taking it's time to sprout.. I think these are cosmos that I direct-sowed instead of starting in baggies.

Black-eyed Susans taking their time to sprout, I guess because I direct-sowed instead of starting in baggies. I see tiny little green sprouts I think. The big one looks more like a weed,
