A blue hybiscus would look very nice in front of the cypress in the driveway bed wouldn't it?  Surrounded by the purple iris, blue ballon flowers and ice plant.  Such a nice addition, hint hint hint lol.

I love the colors on the zinnia. 

Pardon me for sounding stupid, but what do you grow gourds for? They aren't edible are they?

Gourds make great decorations, bird houses or just in a bowl for fall decor. Also pretty cool maracas!

I've only grown them once before and that time I only got 2 which we made into birdhouses.

Very pretty zinnia and nice gourd, Sheri... :good2:

Penny, your vegetables look awesome. I love that tomato! :grinnnn: Is it a sweet tomato or an acidic tomato?

Very nice taste to it, this is my first year growing it, i have had them before, but this is my first, and grew that one from a wee sprout.
