The vegetables have recovered nicely from the heat but my squash never recovered quick enough, so no butternuts this year. The few melons we got were very, very good, saved the seeds for next year. Our mystery vine plant turned out to be a Bumpy Pumpky- we'll use them for autumn decoration- not even going to try and carve them- they are rock hard. Speaking of rocks, we planted three fabulous junipers along the fence, two vanderwulf pines in front, a quaking aspen, and soon a dwarf apple tree, and a dakota pinnacle birch tree!! Yes, we are crazy, but that will be it for trees, maybe.
Definitely planting the hyacinth bean again next year- loved it, and my newly planted trumpet creeper is on the march. It may cover half the pergola by next summer. Enjoy the pics!

bounty, the jar is full of skinless cherry tomatoes in a balsamic vinegar laced with chipotle pepper- look like cherries! I'm thinking a bloody mary addition.
