The front raised bed gardens have zinnias, basil, lettuce, corn, and those vines going up are hops.
Here is a close-up of the hops. My dad is harvesting them this weekend.
Here we planted a Coral Bark Japanese Maple. My mom named it Ichiro. My dad says there will be a patio here someday.
Here I am ready for our evening walk. Behind me you can see the front garden and Ichiro.
Okie doke, Turtle and I are ready for the walk now. Off we go!

The hops are beautiful. Way cool. Best shot of hops I have ever seen. Mt. Hood hops, I would hazard to guess. Question: if one day there will be a patio where the tree was planted, does that not mean that the tree will have to come down? Hmmm. Just wondering.

My dad says they are Cascade hops. He and his friends are having a HopFest Sunday, harvesting the hops and making a batch of beer.
Ichiro will stay put. The patio will go next to Ichiro, in front of the chimney. :)
