Same here -- all week. There is a river flood watch on, but I'm not close to the rivers, so I'm fine.

We're also in store for some rain, after a beautiful weekend (by most folks' standards).
We planted tomatoes one year, and I drowned them in Miracle-Gro, and they turned out like that. They got tall (I have a pic of it somewhere, where they're as tall as my wife), but they barely produced any tomatoes.My sister texted me a picture of her tomato and pepper garden today.That wooden frame is 7-feet tall (I built it).

Hardening off these guys for a couple more days then in the patch they go..Looking forward to transplant a few of these as they are from second generation seeds...The Roma tomatoes, Beefsteak tomatoes and cucumbers are all from last years seeds..
I have a pretty basic garden..your classic selections although I am trying red cabbage, and eggplant for the first time..I have heavy clay so not everything does well..

My sister says her plants are loaded with fruit. You can't see the tomatoes, because they are all still green.

Texas soil, on the East side of the State, is heavy, black clay. It is nicknamed "black gumbo." My sister's garden is a raised garden, and it is full of good soil, with a lot of organic content.

Flowers, though less spectacular than last year, are filling in nicely. Much less cost this year - that's the trade-off:
I've let the chives go (at Morning Glory's suggestion):
And the oregano is assimilating everything else:

Here's my Oregano..it is in a rough part of the soil near the back of the house that get's little sun. Seems to like it enough..it also get's dirty from run being splashed with rain water
Much like mine. It survives year after year in a fairly shady spot. I must try to take some photos of my garden. I've had so many 'mishaps' of late I've not been cooking much or photographing.
Beautiful. My chive heads are forming. You really must use a few in a salad or something. So pretty!

The chives are still going strong, and oregano has made a surprise reappearance. The peppers and Thai basil will not be rejoining my little garden. I do plan on adding to it, and making some additions, time permitting.
I do know that letting the chives go that long...the taste is much stronger.
With all the rain we are having, my garden looks great! My cayenne plant has some tiny fruit on it. The basil is full and green, although still small. The new thyme plant is looking good. The new rosemary hasn't grown much, but looks healthy. The oregano is a monster!
I'll try to post some snapshots later.

Forum GOD!
They really look real healthy plants, I thought most of you guys get stuff eaten by critters ? And then the fruit is quite tasteless? That's the impression I get anyway!
