The tomatoes at least are doing well, although the nocturnal visitor, probably a raccoon, has discovered them. So far there are plenty of small ones for both of us. The beans, however, are not doing great this year - a few purple podded ones, which I will probably save for fresh seed, but no scarlet runners so far. The blasted rose beetles keep eating the flowers. I'll need some fertilizer in those pots next year. Yesterday I watched most of the suet cake I'd put out that morning melt - the flickers and squirrels can do some ground feeding. I think this is the hottest and dryest summer I've seen in Denver in 30 years, but I think it was worse in the 1930s - these things run in cycles.
