August garden update

It's harvest season! While I'm overwhelmed by the sheer abundance of the zucchini, everything else is wonderful. The butterflies are loving the zinnias, and I like that the cucumber vines are compact.

All the basils are doing well, and the tomatoes are ripening.

I'm finally getting green beans! I'm digging up an occasional carrot, and the strawberries (background) are recovering and sending out runners. For fall harvest, I've planted some bok choy and lettuce (garden bed not shown...because...boring). Note in the background that the grass is brown and dry. We're in a drought, and I'm only watering as necessary. Plus I'm using water from the dehumidifier and the rain barrel.
