July- vines and things

Well, the tomato is growing like crazy, so that's fun.  The purple beans are doing great, I get lots of beans already and they look lovely.  They have little purple flowers and it's super cute.  The regular green beans aren't as far along, I guess they don't get quite as much sun.  I was thinking next year I would only plant the beans along the wall, because they look so lovely and they get too crowded in the raised bed.

I was very seriously considering getting the patio wall removed.  I think it's basically useless, and ugly.  I need to get a quote on that, and if it's like, $100, I'll get someone to do it, but the internet seems to think I can handle it.  I'd need a pry bar and maybe a sledge hammer.  If I end up keeping the cinder blocks whole, I could pretty much use them for another bed?  Or should I build a smaller wall there that's hollow through so I can plant in it?  Or, I can make a bench!  That could be kind of nice.  I will probably need to ask the HOA.

The Morning Glory are finally blooming, I've got two flowers and they're beautiful, and it's 2:30 and they're still out.  I kind of thought they were shorter lived than that.  So I guess I'll just grow the same things again.  It's very possible they don't like sharing space with the beans.
