(Bad camera and don't want to take up bandwidth, so I'll 'splain left to right.)
On the far left, morning glories are growing up over the deck pergola.
We want to grow beer hops. Anyone familiar with the subject?

Behind, the montmorency cherry survived being cracked in half by the raccoons last summer, who would also empty out the feeders daily. It now has 4ft of new growth. I'm not insinuating anything...but I've heard raccoon throats are vulnerable to .177 pellet.

The arbor over the path has two types of climbing roses, red and white. Next year they should cover it completely.

The butterfly bush on the right is 10ft high! They are supposed to get only 6x6.


Far bottom left is spearmint. The honey bees love it.

Middle is about 15 tomato plants 5ft high, mostly cherry. They are leggy because I was greedy and grew them too close together, again.
Only 4 were bought, and the rest grew accidentally from seed despite my daily maintinance.

That christmas tree spear at the top middle is wild lettuce 5ft high which I let go to seed last year. The 4x4 dirt pile is covered soild with it as well. I'm going to pick the seed and spread it in the wild because the world needs more wild lettuce.

On the right is basil and wild cilantro(bees love that too). Pole/ground beans, and behind are pickling cukes with plenty of flowers(new cukes).
