Yellow Pear Tomatoes on author’s patio

My patio’s tomato plants are producing plenty of blooms and lately cherry and pear tomatoes. And my other plants are showing great signs of life also. I have my patriotic petunias:

I have three peppers on my bell pepper plant (bigger now):

My snapdragons have been back and forth in bloom since early spring -coming back from last year, supplanted by this year’s additions. And I discovered this week that I have not one, but two, types of mint in one container. Plus my rosemary and lavender starts are doing just fine.

Now I just am waiting for my tomatoes to turn red or yellow and my bell peppers to mature. I also love the little birdies who are attracted to our patio by the seeds that fall and the hummingbirds that fly up to sample the flowers. Too bad they are so fast it’s hard to snap a photo, though I do think I have a video somewhere. It will have to wait for another post.
