Growth spurt in the garden

We went on holiday last week and when we came back we found the garden looking like this:

Firstly I'm thankful that nothing died in the week we were away and that it got by on the bit of rain we had. But secondly, look how much it's grown since I took this photo on 16 June,  just two weeks ago.

In particular,  my runner beans are now huge and covered in flowers.

One of my courgettes has practically become a marrow.

And my cucumber plants have flowered and started producing little cucumbers.
