  1. I agree about growing cherry tomatoes. I had 2 potted determinant plants, I forget what varieties. I didn’t get to many fruit off them so will put cherry tomatoes on my list for next year.

  2. Where did you get the raise bed? The where you planted the giant zinnias?Also that beautiful herb rack?

  3. Your garden is sooo pretty! I just started gardening and had some zinnias die on me so I was scared about planting any other flowers (besides petunias, I love these easy gals). You really inspired me to try again next year 🙂 Do you have any tips for lavender and rosemary? I had a lavender plant that went crisp and I truly couldn't figure out if it was overwatering/underwatering, wrong soil, transplant shock or what! And now I have a rosemary plant that is turning brown and feels dry but it has new healthy growth? I'm so confused lol
