We're having one of our few hot-Seattle-summer weeks where everything must be heavily watered, so I thought sharing Sting singing of heat and rain was more than appropriate!
(But Sting! It's all hot and deserty! Please, please, please take off your leather jacket. I'm over-heating just looking at you).
The heat is finally making the plants take off - the Jerusalem artichokes along the fence to the left, hops on the left of the gate, Magnolia vine on the right...
The bush beans are growing. This year I'm growing a couple of purple varieties. :-)
And here is one of the strawberry-eating evil hens.... Stalking the strawberry bed yet again...
