The dog days of August

This year we have had a total of 16 days of 100 degrees, by this time last year we had already had 57 days of 100 or over so the garden is not doing too bad.
The peppers are doing well , but because of the raccoon invasion I lost all but one tomato plant so I planted 7 more and hope they will produce before it gets too cold.
These are green beans planted about 3 weeks ago.
This year I tried summer squash and it is doing very well. I put pink tape to discourage squash bugs. I am not sure if it is the hot weather or the tape but there have not been any squash bugs!
Herbs down the row and lettuce (salad bowl) on the left doing well shaded in the hot temp.
The clan taking their sand baths in the shade.
The shop thus far, the roof is next.
The carport roofed waiting for the staining of the floor, then the side panels go on.
