Heart of Darkness


Heart of Darkness

The black hollyhock is blooming profusely which made me realize that while I scattered the seeds last year, none apparently germinated...very unhollyhocklike!
The garden is growing wildly even in this unseasonable cool weather. The grape vines are shooting up at an alarming rate and I am having to get after them before they block off some areas entirely.
The only disappointment is that my tomatoes have not set any fruit. My Brandywine has exhibited a really awful blossom drop...the stem leading to the blossom is withering into brownness and doing nothing. There is not too much to adjust, but I will try taking the dripper out completely for a bit and let them dry right out. They are so huge and lush that I don't want to lose them now.
