Three times last year my plants were eaten to the ground by deer. So far, the deer fence is holding up. I now have 6 or 7 green beans a day to pick but many little ones on the plants. I may be sharing those beans with a rodent or something though because ones I was watching sometimes disappear! And I have 3 corn plants producing visible tassels so I may yet get homegrown corn! The flowers are blooming and spreading out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.murbook.family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_0025-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.murbook.family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_0025-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.murbook.family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_0025-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.murbook.family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_0025-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.murbook.family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_0025-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.murbook.family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_0025-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption>No set summer squash yet, but the flowers are beautiful<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.murbook.family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_0026-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.murbook.family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_0026-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.murbook.family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_0026-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.murbook.family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_0026-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.murbook.family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_0026-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.murbook.family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_0026-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption>Should I be concerned that the cantaloupe and watermelon seem to be competing to climb up the wall?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.murbook.family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_0027-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.murbook.family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_0027-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.murbook.family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_0027-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.murbook.family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_0027-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.murbook.family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_0027-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.murbook.family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_0027-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption>Whoo hoo\u2026. my favorite veggie is corn on the cob!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprisingly, I do enjoy my time out in the garden even though it is hot out.
