Tomatoes love...roses...cabbage...and Richard!


This year our next door neighbour, Richard, planted two large veggie gardens on his boulevard this year...his tomatoes are 'uge! They are plants he grew from seed. He also has some cabbage, Flowering Kale, and some ornamental grasses. It looks really nice. Richard and Marlene's garden is also one to behold - a wonderful assortment of plants as well as a really nice flow and garden architecture.

His brother-in-law gave him something like 60 tomato plants so he has them planted all over his garden - often in the flower beds. It looks wonderful and it is a good example of how urban farming can be done in our yards and still look all purdy!

Aren't those some amazing tomatoes and cabbage?!
