We are over run with beans!
The runner beans are hitting their stride and cranking out more beans than I can handle.
This monster was discovered in the vines this week. I took the photograph of the bean next to a tin whistle. The bean is longer!
This female sparrow is perching on the bean frame next to her young male son who is busy fluffing his feathers.
The sun was out for a moment this morning and the butterflies took advantage of the respite from the rain. The above is a Peacock butterfly, one of my favourites. Isn't it beautiful?
Having a buddleia is worth having in your garden. Its a hardy flowering shrub with open foliage. It is the late summer when buddleia come into their own. They attract their weight in butterflies! I can just sit by the east window of our place and watch them for ages.
In the greenhouse, the grapes are still forming. Because we are so far north and sunlight is at a premium, grapes don't ripen very well. When they do, the purple grapes in my greenhouse are nice to eat.
