As for zucchini, I have heard horror stories of it swamping the landscape and people leaving baskets of zucchini at neighbors' doorsteps to get rid of it. I do like zucchini bread, but I leave the growing of it to others. Good luck!debsgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656883577922890561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318772798318990624.post-34091943592474893142012-06-23T12:55:43.884-06:002012-06-23T12:55:43.884-06:00My drumstick alliums are just opening and these ar...My drumstick alliums are just opening and these are by far my favorites...My Max sunflowers are growing tall but it will be a couple of months before they bloom. Now as far a zukes, I don't have room either or maybe I am unwilling to give up space for a zuke, so I found a container variety and am hoping it puts out some squash!Donna@Gardens Eye Viewhttp://gardenseyeview.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318772798318990624.post-85383184761130136562012-06-23T10:40:22.338-06:002012-06-23T10:40:22.338-06:00Thanks Jennifer; you have a great weekend, too!

I think it must be the drip irrigation. I don't have to remember to water it separately from my flower bed. So true about the insight, I'm already planning what to do next year with the zucchini. Not sure about what to do about the sunflowers.GirlSprouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13029711241687325640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318772798318990624.post-51993405976075497822012-06-23T01:51:38.556-06:002012-06-23T01:51:38.556-06:00Thanks for putting it into perspective.

My dogs discovered that tomatoes tasted good and started eating some of my cherry tomatoes last summer. They also dropped some of them throughout my veggie garden. Now this summer I have tomatoes popping up in the oddest spots.
