I try to stagger bush beans because the plants do give out at some point and I want a steady supply. Also trying it with the cukes, which seem to be prolific producers early but as the vines age and get damaged from tugging the cukes off, rooting through for the hidden ones, etc., they tend to trail off. So I'm going to do one planting early then start some more seeds in another location a few weeks later. If I grow squash it will be just one because two years ago I had one plant that gave me more than I could use, freeze or give away. And it just wouldn't quit. Probably should have looked for a food bank that wanted fresh produce. In Pennsylvania, I don't think our summers are long enough for a second round of tomatoes. I've put some in in late June just to see and they never really produced -- probably not enough time before the nights got too cool. If you grow leaf lettuce you can cut the leaves and the plant will produce more, but after the second or third cutting it gets bitter so it's either time for more plants or just go to a late summer planting for fall harvest since lettuce doesn't love the heat.

Thanks. Looks like she has planted them everywhere with no regard to location...

The one with the flowers is pokeweed (Phytolacca americana) and the tall slender one is dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium). Both are native perennials. And both are regarded by most people as weeds but they do have benefits to birds in several ways.

Is the leaf reverse purple? Looks like Plectranthus ciliatus.
