The latest picture of my planter.  We've been feasting on tomatoes daily.  In other news the beans are still producing, I've frozen some and eaten lots.  I'm trying for a late planting of lettuce.  This next picture shows that third time's the charm is right.  I've been trying to root clippings from an old climbing rose of a neighbor.  The ones I started last year seemed to be growing this spring until we had a new roof put on.  I told the guys to be careful and they put boards up but when they were done so were the plants.  I went up and got three more and they took hold and one of them had buds when I stuck it in the ground with the jar over them.

The clematis that I posted last year was in the same spot and I thought it had been killed.  After our wet June a new sprout appeared and is now about 2 feet high.
