First tomato flowers!

The seeds planted the first week of school have produced some fine young vegetable plants. Swiss Chard, Kale and Spinach are all growing well and have been sampled as they grow. The tomatoes are now about 2 1/2' tall and the first flowers are on! The peppers are a bit slower, but the ones with more soil are much bigger than those with less soil.

This presentation shows many stormwater gardens (rain gardens and bioretention cells) which have been designed for both aesthetics and function.
