Your garden looks beautiful! We are starting ours up in the early fall when it cools down a bit. I am so jealous! Your garden looks beautiful!

I have some stakes if you want them, you can still tie them up if you want. As for the tomatoes, they need a good amount of sun, but if they're producing fruit and not getting leggy them I wouldn't worry about it. I think they need a good 4 hours of direct sun/day.

I practice a form of intensive gardening on my small plot - it's called square foot gardening. I'm training quite a few plants up a trellis. My plants are large and healthy (although I'm not harvesting much, yet, I got a late start). This is my first year with intensive gardening, so we'll see how it goes, but I've been an organic gardener forever. The key is in the compost - good soil = good crop.

Sometimes I have to water mine twice a day, because they lose so much moisture throughout the day. Clearly they wouldn't be good for areas prone to drought. I've finally got some green tomatoes, too! Do you have any red ones yet? Or does Annabelle eat them before they get a chance at ripening? My hydrangea advice is: water!
