I've mentioned that I'm not much of a gardener, and either is my husband. When the Mayor of Vancouver, Gregor Robertson, decided that city hall needed a community garden, I thought we should have one too. I discovered it is not an easy project (for us anyway!).
We have a tiny back yard, so the vegetable patch is really tiny. When I planted two scrawny, and almost dead, tomato plants I had no idea they would grow so tall. They are as tall as me, when I pick up a branch (is that the correct terminology?) from the ground. I didn't provide any support for these poor tomato plants, but they still seem to be doing ok as there are heaps of pear tomatoes all over it. It's a tangled mess though. Beets and carrots look like they might eventually become edible too. Fingers crossed.
I took a couple of quick shots of the city hall garden, and a few from our garden. Any helpful gardening tips would be welcomed!

sounds like I need to come visit - 1. because you need garden help, 2. because you need me to hook you up with more jam!
Would you please? You can't laugh too hard though. We'll have a nice salad with the 3 tomatoes that are ripe!
hopefully your garden is better this year....how lucky to have heather as your friend!
