Purple Hige morning glory and yellow climbing rose

I have been blessed with a few last minute blooms on my roses this year. More blooms will follow inside the warm and cozy greenhouse. I am looking forward to canna blooms and have some dahlia seeds started just for fun. This purple Hige has a pink Hige companion and I will share more blooms soon

Little Green Hiiros Tomatoes

General gardening

We are getting tomatoes in the greenhouse, and I am pleased! I am looking forward to fresh tomatoes on my plate every day, enjoying their vibrant color and rich flavor. I think the first picture is from a cutting, and I am unsure which variety it is. The next two pictures are tomatoes grown from seeds I saved from the tasty Hiiros variety I purchased at the supermarket. Some of the plants are producing large clusters of blooms. If the F1s taste good, I will save seeds from the vines I like and keep growing them. I will share more later on the characteristics I find and do a taste test. I am unsure if they are hybrids or not. If they produce well, I may even make a delicious homemade sauce, simmering them with garlic and herbs.
