Time for another greenhouse photo!

I was a bit slow pollinating my tomatoes, so rather than growing fruit, they've been growing leaves. So many leaves. The picture does not do justice to how riotous the tomatoes are growing; it's lovely, and now that I have knocked the pollen into the flowers, I imagine it has so much energy to put into growing fruit.

The leeks and celery continue to do well; they've slow-growing vegetables, but that's fine, they can take their time. Still a lot of days in the growing season.

The pepper remains just all around sad. :( I think the nights here are too cold for it.

I've started propping open the greenhouse doors during the day, to let insects in and to let more heat out; also put out a water dish filled with rocks and twigs for the bees. Hopefully they can find their way in and enjoy the plants.

Overflowing with life.

Another photo from my favorite botanical garden, this time from the outside in. I love how the big leaf presses against the glass.
