Beginning Fall Plantings, Harvest, Audrey 3 Flowered

I made it out to the plot this morning before the family started running around for the day.  As is typical, the first thing I did was to harvest stuff (no picture).
  • 1 lb 0.5 oz beans
  • 15.2 oz tomatoes
  • 2.4 oz cayenne peppers
  • ~30 ground cherries
The primary intent was to water since it's been dry.  That was accomplished after I turned over the garlic box (minus what I think is 2-3 garlic cloves) and planted two rows of snow peas and a few rows of Henderson's Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce that I had purchased a few years ago.  No idea if it'll germinate, but I figured it was worth a shot to have something to harvest in the fall.  I also planted a few rows of radishes between two marigolds in one of the failed cucumber boxes.

I was also happy to see that "Audrey 3" is flowering!  We had no idea what it was given I had a few leftover packets of mixed flower seeds leftover from a few years previous.  Turns out "she's" a Moonflower with blue variegations in the flower petals.  Very pretty.
Below is another example of the random mix of flowers that went into that box.
