We bought a banana tree. It’s turning into a banana grove. And was half that size when we got it earlier in the year

A mighty neighbourly grapevine. We’re making a frame for it.

Year before last, we got one single solitary mango. This year, it looked like three (from this photo). More recently, it seems like there may be 10+.

I don’t usually go too far past the front raised beds, so didn’t notice the lemon tree was finally fruiting
![Many zucchini](https://technonaturalist.net/blog/2011/11/photos-lots-them/food-garden-holy-crap-zucchini_hu3442e10107e175417d56db0eaed426fc_47006_filter_5245842599713551329.jpg)
