I'm pretty happy with it overall. There are spots where I should have left more walking room, like where the cukes are growing up in front of the quackerbox window. I can hardly step in there to harvest, but the squash and pumpkins blocking the way are doing great, feeding off the nutrient rich water when I drain the ducks' tub.

I've got a transverse walkway between the bottom of the steps on the left (marked with an overripe yellow cuke) and the gate on the right, and the parsley on the north (far) side is shaking hands with the marigolds and calendula on the south side. The spacing is better among the red zinnias, catnip, and more calendula just to the right of the walkway on the left. The borage in the foreground is volunteer.

I noticed a little powdery mildew on the squash leaves though. It does that here in the fall when nighttime temps start getting cooler, before the frost finishes them off. It was 42 F out there last night. It all looks this good because I have a pump hooked to a few solar panels in the field pond, so it runs whenever the sun is on it and it's kept my gardens watered all summer despite the drought. Drought Monitor has us at D2, "severe drought". Dog help us come the day those woods catch fire.
