Some mangoes, all except 1 are in bloom. My ugly midseason tomato plants are there too.

Beautiful, Marsha! Hope you get a great mango crop :)

Why are your zinnias fenced? Do you have a dog?

Kent Mango showing off. Highly unusual for it to have a heavy crop 2 years in a row. But it looks to be a dream come true.

[mention]Ginger2778[/mention] My area in Colorado is under a blanket of snow and seeing all the green in your pictures is uplifting. Looks great!
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter, that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Yay what a relief to see your sunny garden and those lovely mangoes in bloom! :) I believe you misspelled yummy when you wrote 'ugly' too. Those rows of tomatoes look good! ;)

It all looks so good!
The behaviour of light means you observe me as i was then, and not as I am now.
I cannot change history, so I do hope i gave you a good impression of myself

It's kind of you, but they are full of Russet Mites, and disease, so yes, ugly unfortunately.

What kind of "trellis" are you using for your tomato plants?

What kind of fencing are you using for your zinnia patch? Are the support poles furring strips or something else?

The trellis is cut from a roll of field fence. It is galvanized and has 6" square openings, good to spray through, and to get large tomatoes from. By a company with Red something in the name.
The fencing for the zinnias is from a roll of 2" square galvanized fence we bought at home depot. Yes, those are firrjng strips.
Galvanized because I don't care for rust like CRW has.

Thanks for sharing your garden. So envious of your mangoes! Beautiful tree! They have become my favorite fruit in the last few years. I just made a mango custard cake. Normally supposed to be made with rhubarb but I made it with a coconut cake mix, a flavor meant to go with mango! Fantastic combination!
Sorry about the Russet mites. Before they struck had you been having a good tomato season? Your plants look really full of tomatoes! Keep enjoying your gorgeous place!
