The last leaning leek flower (there were two) keeps watch from the western end of the garden.
A few of the many, thriving basil plants. Basil in NJ verdict : yes!
The northeastern quadrant of the garden - ornamental gourds, melons, cucumbers and two different zucchinis (8 ball and stripey italian). Or, the cucurbits.
Stripey Italian zucchini and zucchini blossoms (note imperiled leaves).
Our first melon!
The tomatoes, taken from the midpoint of the garden. Northwestern quadrant is mainly tomatoes, marigolds and basil.
More basil. Some tomatoes from the first weeks of august.
The southeast quadrant of the garden is home to the eagerly-awaited cole crops : red cabbages, TONS of brussels sprouts and satan's broccoli. Also the bell peppers, which are awaiting some impending treatment, naples-style.
Some selections from our mixed-up southwest quadrant : beets! (sadly all eaten), a couple little eggplants struggling along, celery in the ground and harvested, and the largest round yet of hungarian hot chiles, which we've been eating and pickling for about two months.
Some accidental impressionism - marigolds and butterfly bush.
There are a ton of herbs and flowering perennials clustering outside the garden fence. Here are lemongrass, flowering sage and black-eyed susans.
This guy showed up in a basil harvest, the little scamp. Here he is getting let back into the garden.
A broad view, from the west.
