The Heat Takes a Toll

The echinachea seems to love the heat. The hollyhocks not so much.

June 24, 2012, was the date for the local garden tour. The heat kept a lot of people at home, but two friends and I did our best. They finished the tour, all fourteen stops, but I gave up after seven.  The only photo I'm going to share is of Wally George's tomatoes. He takes a bag of MiracleGro potting soil, cuts a square opening in the top, and plants the tomato in it. He punches holes on the bottom for drainage. You can see the bags below and the amazing height of the plants. And yes, they were loaded with tomatoes, not just a lot of foliage! (That's one of my friends in the photo to give it some scale.)
