| Summer green beans. They were late producing but are doing well now. |
 |
| Spring planted Swiss chard. Something ravaged it over the summer so that I thought it was completely destroyed. But with the cooler temps and recent rain, it's thriving again. |
 |
| Greenhouse kale planted about a year ago. These survived much neglect over the summer, but survived in a shady spot under a tree. |
