Fall Plants

Hello everyone! Sorry its been so long. I've been busy with summer and work and what not but I have a break in all of that now and have things about my plants to report on. I think my tomato plant might be putting out its last few tomatoes, as the weather is just starting to change to fallish weather. My oregano and mint has started flowering and I must say oregano has some beautiful flowers. Due to the beans near it, my bluebeard is doing very well, growing many limbs and growing a few flowers now. In addition I was able to harvest 1-2 beans from my brothers science project from the school year.
I'm not entirely sure of what is going on, but it seems that something has eaten the tops of my redbud and honey locust which I have planted in my yard. I am planning on getting some sort of cage to put around them so that the animal doesn't continue eating on it. In addition to protecting my little bean trees, I am also going to protect the pumpkin plants which have just started to grow. I planted some seeds along our fenceline at the bottom of our yard and under our deck and they are both doing awesome.
On my final note, I would like to correct a mistake I made a few months back. The plants I previously called hostas are not hostas in all but a perennial called coleus. The coleus which is still in my front yard is doing fantastic and has beautiful pinnacle flowers.
