Beautiful flowers

I'm glad I planted the mixed flower seed mix. The giant zinnias, marigolds, and cosmos are especially pretty right now. They bring the butterflies. Today a black and blue one fluttered around. 

The plot is just a mess! It's been nearly two weeks since I went out there and over three since I really worked it.  The weeds and grasses have nearly taken over, but the peas and tomatoes are fighting hard to maintain their spots. 

Today I picked two baskets of tomatoes and peas plus several ears of corn, two delicata squash and a mess of butter beans. 

And tonight, I froze a bag of corn and shelled peas for two hours. It'll be worth it this fall.
