There are a few plants that can take our summer heat. Zinnias are one of them, and I can usually get two "crops" before frost sets in by scattering the seeds while deadheading. The green bean originally planted in this bed have been totally eclipsed by the zinnias, but I'm letting the zinnias have their way for now. We added flagstones to this bed for interior access, and I actually waded into this jungle on a bean hunt. The plants are still there, but not surprisingly, beanless at this time. When temperatures get this hot, most vegetables won't set fruit anyway, so we might as well enjoy the flowers.
