I don't have that many new pictures because it's been raining so much and I am loathe to go out in the rain just to take some blurry pictures of tomato plants. But rest assured they are growing fast and are enjoying the rain. So let's take a look at all the other plants that I tend to neglect in favor of vegetables in the summer.
Above is lavender and what I assumed was Lamb's Ear until these bright magenta flower showed up. Turns out it's rose campion and I'm not entirely sure where it came from! On the left side of the picture is a blackberry (or possibly raspberry) from Bartram's Garden. I get it last summer and it's starting to flower so maybe I will get some berries? We'll see.
The excitement of this week was when I harvested some beans...11 of them, to be exact. They seem a little small but the pods were turning yellow so I looked in one and hey! beans. I'm letting these dry and hopefully I will get more so I can make something with them. Next year I promise I'll plant more than one bean plant.
Other than that I've been frantically staking my tomato plants to keep up with all this growth. More pictures next week, once things dry up a bit!
