I just sprikle them on top of the ground and leave them. Some come up, so don't and the ones in the wrong place, I move when they get a bit bigger.

Of course, it's OK to have tomatoes in the front garden. Probably it's the best spot for sun exposure, but the way they have disguised it with the boxwood hedges, you'd never guess the veggies are there.<br /> The backyard also has a lot of wonderful design features - a path leading to the patio area, the pergola and bench as a major focal point. etc. I really enjoyed this tour - thanks, Jennifer!Astridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208261869410640449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-82375593160328286372013-02-27T11:23:14.600-08:002013-02-27T11:23:14.600-08:00You always show the most beautiful gardens on eart...You always show the most beautiful gardens on earth.

Plus, and perhaps even more importantly, I lay down a lot of compost in the fall and that probably buries the seeds too deeply for them to germinate.sweetbayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248743114944736346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-68296995832422932842013-02-27T06:27:26.944-08:002013-02-27T06:27:26.944-08:00I normally do not like clipped boxwood, but I love...I normally do not like clipped boxwood, but I love the idea of combining the boxwood with tomatoes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-63065180915970586132013-02-27T05:23:46.921-08:002013-02-27T05:23:46.921-08:00What an interesting garden...I love the curving bo...What an interesting garden...I love the curving box in front with the variety of perennials and edibles...Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420133886162844400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-81774606825782267332013-02-27T05:10:46.011-08:002013-02-27T05:10:46.011-08:00I see a pergola with a bench in my future!!

Lovely gardens you’ve captured in yo...Hi Jennifer,<br /><br />Lovely gardens you’ve captured in your last few posts. <br />My husband and I both grew up in Southern Ontario – as I gaze at your photos of lush leafy tree canopies, boxwood hedges, hostas spilling onto pathways, English ivy, Japanese maples and perennial gardens bursting from their beds, I’m filled with such nostalgia. I can’t help wondering if I’d discovered my love of gardening a few years earlier, if I’d ever have moved away. Now I must be content to garden in zone 3b – crazy cold winters, hot dry summers, Chinooks, and brutal summer hailstorms can make gardening a challenge I don’t always feel up for.<br />Anyways, enough whining – I’m visiting home this summer and will be in the GTA for several days so would like to fit some photo shoots in. Are the private gardens you’ve profiled open to the public?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Sue<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-3658023580619930392013-02-26T19:25:34.709-08:002013-02-26T19:25:34.709-08:00I love it!

And as you pointed out, it would not look good in winter without the evergreen backbone of the boxwoods.

I know if I would do this, I'd take better care of the tomatoes than I do when they are relegated to the 'vegetable garden'. Beautiful pruning work on the boxwoods, I would need a training guide to get them so perfect.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.com
