garden pics from today-

Second round of blooms on my clematis. Not as many, but still pretty.
My rue is doing very nice 
and the Lovage has grown a lot since I moved it- 
but I don't see swallowtail caterpillars on either one. Did they already pupate? or their camouflage is just so good.
My tomatoes are doing so much better! They have good color now- all but one which has remained yellowish and smaller-
and are growing fast. I've already eaten a few single cherry tomatoes.
A few of the cardinal climbers have gone up the trellis, many are flowering 
and the what-is-it maybe a wild-reverted coleus next to one row is grown huge. Is this a plant I'll regret allowing to grow in the garden.
I didn't expect the turnip/rutabagas to look so lovely, but the foliage is huge, quite blue, and even has an attractive scent, like a nice collard.
The rest of that bed is pretty full. We've been eating the beets and turnips but I haven't started pulling carrots yet.
I started cutting down the peas, today. The golden snap peas first, as they are kinda unruly.
Last lot of plants to go in the garden! Only two pots didn't sprout.
