I'm located in inland southern California, zone 9b. Normally I'd be harvesting ripe tomatoes by now, but I'm certainly not complaining about this cooler weather. This is the second year I've grown tomatoes over this arch, really love how it looks when fully covered.

That's so cool! Is that in your front yard?

Yep! Some previous owner of my house put in an absolutely massive pool that takes up 95% of the backyard, so I smothered my front lawn with mulch and built my garden there!

The bermuda grass is tenacious though, really have to stay on top of yanking it where it tries to reestablish. You'll see patches of it if you look in the background of the lower photo, but it's a war of attrition I think I'm slowly winning.
