Harvest, Weeded Entry, Plastic on Border

This evening my benevolent Wifey looked the other way while I went to the plot for about an hour and a half.  I really wanted to make some headway on a few things I've been wanting to get accomplished. Tonight, I attacked weeding the entryway so I can put down newspaper and mulch over top once and for all.  I also sunk one of the pieces of sheet plastic along the fence border I share with our Korean neighbor.
As I often do when out at the plot, I weeded along some of the box borders.  I came across a volunteer Cosmos plant that has come up along the bean box next to the watermelon box.

I hadn't planned on harvesting anything, but as the sun was setting many of the tomatoes looked quite red.  Despite my thinking earlier that there weren't any tomatoes worth picking, I picked some after all.  I also came across some small beans that were growing.  This is further incentive for me to try to have two bean crops next year -- one from May to July and another from late July through September.
The harvest:
  • 15.6 oz tomatoes
  • 1.8 oz beans
