It's true that in prior years my tomatoes grew into monster plants without the use of miracle grow or fertilizer (hey, it worked). I couldn't keep up with the Zucchini or bush beans.
So maybe I'm not totally over it yet;)
My pickling cucumbers are doing fabulously however; so if famine comes, my family will have plenty of pickles canned with jalapenos and garlic to chow down on. And hopefully lots of water to combat all that saltiness:)
But enough whining (see, I can read your thoughts); here are some pictures of things that are actually growing around here.

This planter has really taken off. I love wave petunias (as you'll see in other pictures). They look so pretty trailing down the sides of planters, and anyone can grow them (yes, even me).
More wave petunias. I don't know why these grew so lop-sided; I'm sure I didn't plant them that way;) Oh well, they still look pretty.
My daughter's rose bush. This takes the least maintenance of all our flowers. Every year they bloom a different shade.
My porch planters.
This is my favorite of all my planters. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a very good picture of these due to the sun shining on them so brightly. They're a very deep hue of purple.
I will leave you with the one picture of my garden I'm not too embarrassed to post. Just ignore those little weeds that I have to get to today:)

I've given up on gardens...I only do containers now....After reading "Contain Yourself" a how-to book of growing flowers and "stuff" in pots. My containers do very well!! And I don't have to weed them!!!
Your flowers are beautiful!
You're doing much better than I am...I have to buy plants that I "can't" kill and then I still sometimes manage to.
By the way...if famine comes, I hope your family is stocked up on breathmints. =)
PJ: I'm going to check that book out. I'm still looking for the best plants to do in my smaller pots. Thanks!
Kaye: Hahaha; I'll keep that in mind:)
I'm back. Just read all of your comments over at my blogs.
I just wanted to thank you for your bloggie friendship. You are always around to toss in a comment when I feel like no one cares enough to read. I really appreciate that.
And I'm glad you're enjoying my second blog. As I noted there, I wanted some of that info to be a part of the first blog, which is was in the beginning, but the Frugal side of Mrs Nespy's World overwhelmed it and it got pushed aside. However, I wanted to keep the content alive, so I just started another one!
And if you haven't noticed yet, I have a third blog. It's more about my faith and will probably get a bit personal at times, but we'll see where that one goes!
By the way...I have an answer for you about why I hate WM over at Mrs Nespy's Frugal World. I would repost, but then this comment would just be ridiculously long!
I have already told John that I will have a garden next year, even if it just lives in a container. I am jealous of all my blogging friends with gardens.
Whatcha doin' today? You could come over. Im just doing the watering and making cinnamon rolls.
