There were lots of tiny red, sungold and yellow pear tomatoes, as well as red, purple and yellow larger tomatoes. Also several ears of corn, three small onions, three lonely scarlet runner bean pods, one zucchini, two cucumbers and enough basil to make a big batch of pesto. Good stuff. The corn went into the freezer along with a lot of tomatoes and the pesto.
So I've discovered this year that it's a bad idea to plant small gold colored tomatoes among a batch of gold cosmos flowers--makes it really hard to find the tomatoes.
I had to tie the cosmos, tomatoes and beans back on the arbor again. They all keep trying to fill in the walkway under the arbor. It was fun to reach up and harvest the beans from over my head today. I don't care where they grow, I'll enjoy the beans as they come in. 
We sure do eat good this time of year.

Oh yes, I totally agree! I love your bean arch, I've always fancied growing them like that, but don't have the space. Our tomatoes are very slow this year, we aren't having long spells of sun, although it refuses to rain properly, so we have a kind of drought without the nice hot bit. So nice to see your garden and how similar it is to ours, even with different veg and being thousands of miles away!
