Today's sunflower photo does not look much different from yesterday's.
This water lily is a very pale yellow. It is about 8 inches across.
I wanted to show how much the water lily rises out of the water.
We ate the 2 tomatoes last night tossed with some pasta, olive oil, herbs and garlic. The tomatoes were almost completely solid. Very few seeds.
I decided to keep taking photos of the sunflower until I get bored with it. So far I still like it.
This might actually be the first ripe tomato of the year. It was hiding in the lower part of the plant. It is also an Anna Russian. Much bigger than the first.
This is a net I made to keep the tomato flowers from cross-pollinating. I want to save seeds from the tomato plants I bought from Master Gardeners this year. I'm also saving seeds from the pepper plants I bought. They are all open-pollinated plants, so the seeds will be true to the original plant.
I thought this was a pretty picture of the tomato flower in one of the nets.

The first, almost red, tomato of the year. Anna Russian is an oxheart heirloom.
Our fence is about 6 feet high. The Orange Strawberry tomato is over 7 feet high now (in back.) In front is Anna Russian and 3 pepper plants to the left.
I have 2 different Brandywine varieties growing this year. The one in front is OTV (Off The Vine) and in back is Brandywine from Croatia.
There are 4 tomatoes here and a small pepper in front. Starting from the back is Ed's Millennium (4/20), then Caspian Pink(4/20), and 2 Polish Linguisa (5/4).
