Garden Update (Late)

WARNING: HEAVY PHOTO POST - if you're on limited bandwidth or mobile, you might want to come back from a computer.
I went out 2 days ago to do a garden update and all I managed to do was take pictures. Never got around to writing the actual post about what's going on in my neck of the neighborhood. Things are going well overall I guess, just wish I could find my mojo again. Seems ever since I had to move all my plants from the front I've just lost that loving feeling. I still go out everyday and I'm producing, just more slowly than I need to eat it. Everything in life is a lesson right? Gardening is most certainly a lesson in patience. Well, I have a lot that needs to get done inside while it's hot and then I have to get out once the shade hits the side of the house to start treating my plants with NEEM OIL as it seems I am in the beginnings of a powdery white mildew outbreak that needs to be stopped before it decimates my crops. I'm already suffering from something eating my green beans and sweet potato leaves. I'm hoping the potatoes will recover and put up new leaves and still have harvest in the fall. As for the green beans? I'll just keep feeding them and hope they recover and plant more!
So to save myself a thousand or so words, I'm just going to put up some pictures of my gardens as a progress.
First, the pretties...just because!
