Jacqui said:I have never had luck with sweet corn, so don't even try any more. Most of my space normally go for 'maters since I want to always try all the types offered and you know what, that's a heck of a lot of 'maters. Of course we had hail off and on all night (with high winds) and as I am writing this, the hail is back. Not sure how well anything is going to be looking by tomorrow.
On the other side of the fence you can barely see at the back of the first picture is another about 8' which has a row of rhubarb plants. I have lots of space here and many large sections not being used, so space is not my problem.

Neal said:We've had a very good tomato crop this year:
I am approx. 6 feet tall. The cherry tomato in the back is close to 7 feet now.
We have four tomato plants, a few peppers, squash, watermelon, cucumber, and green beans.
And can you believe it? Pineapples in AZ! I hope I actually get some fruit from them.

Is that what I think it is

I REALLY wanted one because I kept hearing it was a favorite of Russians, so I decided to buy one from Home Depot. They had one left and the poor thing looked HORRIBLE. the leaves and stems were all yellow and drooping and it looked to be on its last leg, so I was able to get it for $5 instead of $15. Well it had been somewhat cold out at the time (it was in the mid 50s for the high) and the soil it was in was dry. I take it home, put it under a window and water it, and I start work on other things. Two hours later I would swear someone replaced it with a different plant because it was bright green and HUGE. I had to repot it immediately, and the next day there was a dozen blooms on it!

Very cool, most tortoises go crazy for hibiscus flowers

Turns out the joke was on you. Sounds like you have a green thumb.
