Late August Happenings

Just a quick update to document what's happening in the garden right now. Usually by the end of August I start getting "garden fatigue" (or at last garden blog fatigue) and stop updating here, but I'm always bummed when I go back the next year and have no idea what was happening last year at this time. So here goes.

Firstly, we have a baby bunny.

We also have two adult bunnies, off an on. We've only seen this one baby. I'm guessing the nest is in a neighbor's yard and this guy is the only one brave enough to venture into our garden.  Dang him and his adorable chomping self.

There are also lots of tomatoes.

The ground cherries are starting to come in (left in the below picture) and the green beans are still being harvested in dribs and drabs. Also still some zucchini (there are three out there unpicked right now) and cukes.

The purple beans are flowering and slowly starting to form little beans. So pretty! Unfortunately they're the baby bunny's favorite snack. Dang him (again).

Aren't they pretty?

On the bright side I've been lucky enough to somehow almost totally avoid the bean beetles this year. There were a few in the spring. I picked them off and never saw any more. Woot!

OK - that's it for now! I'll be back with a mid-September update in a few weeks!
