What's growing on, Beehaw? (Weekly Garden Chat) (self.greenspace)

Our volunteer cherry tomatoes have gone hard this past week, putting on tons of new growth and starting to fruit as well! Our slicers kind of gave up with the hot spell but are back to flowering and I'm looking forward to some really juicy ones.

This past week has seen me doing more forestry than gardening, though I personally conflate the two (I'm just pruning some rather large plants). I'm in the process of typing a write up to some video I shot which details what I'm doing - I'd like to post the video for you all, but I want to accommodate those of you who don't have the time or desire for ~19 minutes of me talking.

Here is a picture of a bee napping on some Joe Pye weed:

They're definitely worth the wait; I plant several ones that size every year to surprise my wife with flowers in new places the next year or two. They can put on a surprising amount of growth, and going with ones that small means you didn't upset your soil life too much by planting, so great job!
