I’ve got a lot of this in my yard from the previous owner. It leaves great dry flower heads over winter, provides great visual interest and homes for overwintering insects in the stalks

I’ve been loving all the milkweed in bloom I pass on my commute! Definitely want to plant a ton in my yard next year!
My first cucumbers are almost ready to pick, and I’ve been pollenating squash flowers like every other day.
Another angle on my garden featuring the prolific pumpkin vine and the sunflower patch -
My AC is struggling a bit to keep up with the heatwave in New England as well, but the garden and I are surviving!
Finally figured out how remove exif data and add an image, so here’s a picture of the garden! I hand pollenated my first butternut squash yesterday, and the cucumber plants are covered in flowers, several of which look like they might actually start turning into cucumbers! I’ve got some empty space that I want to figure out what to do with, I’m starting some more bell peppers and I think I might plant some more carrots. Overall very happy with how things are growing so far this year!
The raised beds with the arch trellis have cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, squash, basil, some brassicas (not doing too great), radish, and beets. The beds in the foreground have chickpeas and some empty space where I may add carrots. There is another bed off camera where I have more pumpkins and some sunflowers.
I’ll jump on the raspberry bandwagon - here’s the handful I got today off of the black raspberry bush by my shed - quite a few still ripening there as well!
