Mid-June gardening update

This is our front garden. The hydrangeas seem to be doing well.

Vegetables in our two raised beds in the back. We've started getting flowers on the zucchini plants in the past couple of weeks. And, yes, the comfrey plant is taking over, I have to keep it trimmed back.

This is a jasmine plant I planted in the back. I'm very pleased with how it has adapted to the trellis, it should be quite fragrant next season.

Raised planter along our patio. This is a good place for lettuce, as it is shaded during the day. I had a couple of extra tomato plants and decided to see how they do here as well - they're actually growing surprisingly well.

Finally, here's our two upside-down tomato planters. This is our first year using these, and the results so far have been good. Also, we're trying to train the grapevine we planted last year to grow up, rather than horizontally along the ground.
