The Mountain Princess beefsteak tomato plant has not loved life. It caught some sort of tomato plant disease and mostly turned yellow & withered up. It was very sad. I did get a handful of fruit from it before it gave up the ghost. They were tasty, but not special tasty. I don't think this is a variety I'll grow again.
On the other hand, the Isis Candy cherry tomato plant is growing like mad and starting to take over the raised bed. The tomatoes themselves are really sweet & have a lovely variegated red-orange-yellow hue. See? Cute AND tasty!
The nasturtiums are also growing like crazy, and have managed to avoid aphids so far. They got planted near the onions and escaped spearmint, which helps I think, since bugs generally don't like mint or alliums.
Oh, and I am finally getting sunflowers! They are a lovely pale lemon yellow colour - almost the same colour as my kitchen. Since the pack was a variety pack, I can't wait until the rest of the blossoms open so that I can see their different colours.
How are your gardens doing?
