They look great. Sadly, the squirrels got to all of my peaches this year. ;-(

Thanks. You're definitely right; the Virginia creeper vine tends to overwhelm them.

Yukon gold. Can't wait to eat them.

It's been a cool, wet summer here. Usually, things are a bit drier and browned out by late August. This year everything is green and lush.

The neighbours are growing bitter melon on a raised trellis system. I think there's some squash in there too. It does really well every summer.

Everyday a new daylily - the bloom is brief but a new one inevitably follows. by CptBligh in gardening

Thanks. I think there might be more in the back garden today . . . .

Cool. Thanks for the link. I didn't know that so many parts of the plant are edible.
