In the back #garden, the #colours are dominated by the #reds and #greens of #plants and the #browns of the #soil.

Here, I think this #photograph captures the tangled #jungle nature of the #tomato plants with #fruit distributed around in various stages of ripeness.

In another part and in direct #sunlight are some #grapes developing nicely. The image is deceptive as they are quite small, less than 1 cm in diameter. You can also make out a #spider and its #web.

Lastly, here are #flowers of #RunnerBeans against the #blue #sky.

A stroll through the #garden at lunchtime. It's a bright, sunny day here today with very good light conditions and so I just wandered around to see what was of interest to #photograph.

In a pale which is used to store #water for watering #plants, you can see what look like #mosquitoes skating on the surface of the water using #SurfaceTension to keep them on top. No doubt, the females will be laying #eggs. You can see #ripples in the water and reflections of the plants around as well as a few #RosePetals which have fallen into the pale.

The #blackberry plants are flowering. Here are some #white #flowers.

And others are #lilac.

The #RunnerBeans plants are currently less than a metre tall but will grow to close to 3 m in height. However, they're already flowering.

Finally, here's the obligatory #Bumblebee on #Allium #florets but you can see another guest at this hotel, which seems to be a small wasp.

I like the bumblebee so much that here she is again in a cropped version of the above image at full resolution.

The total harvest of #RunnerBeans this year is going to be something like 30 kg.

Here is part of today's batch.

Among them, was a whopper which was over 35 cm in length.

Talking of whoppers, a huge #BumbleBee happened to fly past while I had my camera in my hand. Luckily, I managed to #photograph it but you don't get a sense of how big this beautiful specimen was. It was about the size of a golf ball!

Some of the #harvest from the back #garden.

Here are some of the smaller #tomatoes.

And here is what nearly 3 kg of #RunnerBeans look like.

A stroll around the back #garden. My spouse is the person responsible for most of this bounty.

The #tomatoes have appreciated the hot conditions of the #summer and are bearing #flowers and #fruit.

#Allium #flowers appear in a variety of #colours and cluster sizes.

#Strawberries have already produced #fruit but are still #flowering too.

Meanwhile, it is too early for the #pumpkin patch to produce #squashes yet but the flowers are also edible. We've had just a few in dishes. You can also see #dill flowers here and as the subject in the subsequent #photograph.

There are a few ornamental flowers too which also help to attract #pollinators.

The #grapes are also ripening on the #vine and we've already enjoyed some of the #VineLeaves for dinner.

The #RunnerBeans continues to #flower even though it has borne #fruit.

The #apples are getting bigger too.

Finally, the #lettuce plants are growing tall and producing seeds for next year.
