Greetings from the sunflowers, nodding over the sidewalk. Despite being dug up and moved twice this summer (thanks to the street construction), they are eight feet tall and thriving.

Here's a blurry photo of leeks, chard, and fennel, doing their best to fatten through drought and groundhog plague.

And here is T building the woodshed wall. You can see how the roofline will change.

I planted these climbing beans just before July 4 and already their tendrils are taller than my head.

The cucumber is dry but doughty, and this year's crop is exceedingly tender and sweet. 

Zinnias and calendula frolic at the feet to the sunflowers. I don't know why these pictures are all so soft-focus. I'm not very good at cameras.
