Lilacs, plum blossoms and vetch flowers


This is a lilac flower in it's early stage.

Then it starts to look more like the lilac flowers we know.


Finally it opens and lets loose it's beautiful fragrance.


The purple lilac is always a little behind in development compared to the white variety I have.


Plum blossoms.


Common vetch is a legume that I plant as a cover crop. The flowers attract bees and the roots put nitrogen back into the soil.

Tomatoes

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.
Planted on 4/13 from transplants.


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.
Planted on 4/13 from transplants.


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).
