Giants in the Vegetable Garden September 6, 2014

Late summer.  Most of what I have growing is ornamental.  Castor Bean plants, Mexican "Torch" Sunflowers, pumpkin, tomatoes, asparagus gone to seed, arugula, Marjoram, lots of French Marigolds, Scarlet Runner Beans (which are edible, but I am growing them for the pretty red flowers), okra, birdhouse gourd vines, and Nasturtiums.

Castor Beans above.  Castor Beans and birdhouse gourd vines below.

Above, my gigantic Mexican sunflowers growing in back of the castor bean.  The birdhouse gourd is in the right side of the photo growing on goat wire fencing.
