Into September

A while since the last post, but the Annecy Gardeners have been active & the plants have been growing. The month of September started warm & dry, so watering was an important part of our activities.

Watering the beans; not the bean wigwam with the most luxuriant growth
Here's Cherry watering one of the more vigorous groups of beans

As the month of September progressed, the rain began to fall which has meant less watering but more weeding:

Here's a couple of more general views of the garden:
Beds, with variegated maize nearest; also in the same bed, orange calendulas
The gourds & pumpkins have been setting fruit quite well, but eager hands have been picking the fruits before they are ready, however the luxuriant growth of the plants means that one or two have escaped so far...
'Anna Swartz Hubbard' squash, growing nicely
Another squash, not sure which variety
