My bush peas are doing a very good impression of pole peas. We've deployed some tomato cages so they aren't laying on the carrots next to them or escaping into the lawn.

The squirrels did their best to dig up and eat the green beans I planted. A handful of plants survived. I'm contemplating buying a third round of bean seeds and seeing if I can get a few more plants. The squirrels did manage to dig up and eat all the spinach. I planted more carrots in that spot. (Not sure if I mentioned here that I gave up on finding winter squash seedlings and just put in green beans in that space in the herb bed.)

The various herbs are doing well. Bell peppers and okra are putting out enough fruit I have to harvest once a week to keep the weight of the fruit from pulling over the plants. More tomato cages have been deployed to help support the okra and bell peppers.

Planted some lettuce yesterday between the plants in the okra/bell pepper bed. I've had no luck growing lettuce in containers, but hopefully it does okay in a different spot. Typically the plant gets between four and six leaves and bolts. Mostly I planted it to play at weed control in the okra/bell pepper bed.
