These are photos of what grew in my tomato garden this year.  My back hurt too much for me to do any gardening. I just let the weeds grow. In their own way they are beautiful. A leftover tomato plant from last year came back but it stayed small and grew no tomatoes.  This tall weed looks like some sort of bush.

I found the idea for this post from a very interesting blog called "Georgia Girl With An English Heart". Here is the link to her original post: Georgia Girl With An English Heart- Passenger Pigeon -Fold The Flock- This video describes the problem: My lighthearted attempt at the "Fold the Flock" project. I found a site which offers some hope for bringing back the species. This video explains the research: Link to the research site: "Revive & Restore" Home This link is for a detailed video about the research: View the complete documentary here Say a prayer that the project becomes a success.

This evergreen or weed sprout was doing well growing between bricks.  But when I transplanted it into a pot it died. I found two more sprouts but the same thing happened. They were born to be wild.  "Like a true nature's child We were born , born to be wild We can climb so high I never wanna die." ~Lyrics from Steppenwolf's song.
