The zucchini, one month in. This is on the second level of the terrace; the 8 or so plants on the third level are only 1/2 the size, maybe from being more shaded. Bumper crop coming up!

Four O'Clocks...apparently they bloom more like 4am, than 4pm!

Two of the drought-tolerant plants you see all over the area, but whose names escape me at the moment. The purple-flowering one is actually quite invasive, with spreading roots that go everywhere! Both have extremely fragrant leaves and stems, probably a sage.
