August has been very hot & humid here, & the green beans are running riot. I fully expect to see them creeping in through the kitchen door like triffids, any day now!
I have donated them to several neighbours, family members, made soup, made pickle, eaten them for many, many lunches and now I am taking out the biggest beans for next year's crop.
I am still making my greetings cards, and now have over three hundred in my card shop.

The cherry tomatoes have also started to ripen and they are really sweet and juicy. Steak & salad out in the garden with a sprinkling of these, just makes my day.
We're off to the farmer's market this week. They aren't like the ones in the UK, just local organic producers selling meat, bread, wine & beer that you can get cooked for free on a grill & then sit down at long wooden benches to eat the wonderful food, with some very friendly locals.
They are however, forecasting a thunderstorm or two, so let's hope it holds off until we've eaten.
