More September Garden...

This has been a terrific summer for petunias. Even after a rain they rebound lifting their cheerful faces into the warmth of the summer sun. They flourish in the heat of this beautiful season.
 

I tried a grass plant in this planter. Earlier it also housed some tiny pansies but now only this grass.
 

Tomatoes-just three tiny plants which I put out against the south-facing wall about mid-May. Taller trees in the area now filter out the light sooner than last year but still even with the towering sunflowers breathing down their necks, the tomatoes are delivering the sweetest tastiest mini tomatoes we've ever had. No better treat than to raid these vines every day and enjoy their sun-ripened and warmed fruit.

You are making me hungry with those delicious looking tomatoes. I have some, too, but they did not do so well. Maybe you have some tips for me.
