Tomatoes are so responsive to their enviroment that they are really cool to watch. Annie is looking great.
Your hollyhocks are looking great too. You may want to move the little one over a bit or the big ones going to stunt it's growth. Or at least that's what I did. But I waited until the spring of the second year so it stayed small. And has never gotten as many branches on it as the big ones did. But becareful their tap roots go on forever.

For a volunteer (and constantly reading that you can't start tomatoes from seed in the ground in this region) I'd say she's doing pretty well.

..so hollyhocks are perennials? Even up here in the tunderiffic zone 5? I got 2 at a plant swap and they're only about a foot tall. I was seriously thinking they're never going to get to flowering stage as small as they are.

Hi,
Hollyhocks are biennials. They are foliage the first year and flowers the second year.

I go out there once in the morning before I go to work, and once in the evening when I come home. Well, I snapped some more pictures this morning, and this is what Annie looks like today:

I also took a picture of the "Hollyhock" mystery plant. Here it is...
