Today I finally set up the trellis for the butter beans. Some of the butter bean plants were waving around in the air, and one of them had a stranglehold on a neighboring edamame.
When I put the poles up and looked around, I realized that it was within the grasp of the advancing tide of bamboo + muscadine. So I grabbed the machete and solved that problem - that's why there are pieces of grape vine and bamboo scattered about in this picture.
I also made some twine cross ties for the cucumbers. I think it might need more, but I was tired of standing out in the heat tying knots, so I left the rest for another day.
I picked a bunch more snow peas. I think this is probably it. Some of the plants are looking sad, and I don't see any more blooms. It also looks like the Hungry Hungry Caterpillar has been munching on the snow peas - I found several pods with a single hole gnawed right through them.

The Black Cherry and German Pink are blooming. ^_^ And the tomato I'm calling the I'm Not Dead Yet tomato is still not dead, despite the fact that it looked that way a couple of times.
And the calendula and peppers are mostly green and upright.
The hydrangeas are beautiful! These pictures don't do the colors justice. They're very rich and almost luminescent in real life.
One hydrangea (Nikko Blue)
Two hydrangea (forgot the variety name of this one!)
