A lot of growth in just 3 weeks

Just three weeks ago the garden was looking pretty bare. Well, that's all changed:

I am now confident that I'm going to get a harvest of some sort from my garden this year. Probably not as much as last year, when my seedlings grew and my slug damage was less severe, but a worthwhile crop, nonetheless. I already have my first courgette growing.

In fact, my cucurbits in particular are a key part of the growth in the garden.

Some of the squash plants are smaller than the others because slugs and snails completely annihilated several of my seedlings, so I had to replant late in the season. I'm not sure why the rest differ so much in size. Perhaps I more successfully got water to the roots of some than others, perhaps some were just better genetic material than others.
A lot of the rest of the growth comes from my sweet corn and to a lesser extent, my purple beans.

This makes me happy, as it makes the garden a pleasure to look at and be in, which is part of the reason I do my gardening.

And yes, the garden is very dry. I'm watering it every night, but we're having such beautiful, blistering hot days at the moment and weeks in a row without rain that it keeps drying out.
I've also got some gaps that I'd like to do something about. In particular, none of the dwarf beans I planted grew (this year's lesson: beans and peas don't last beyond the best before date on the packet and nor do a lot of other seeds). So, I'm going to fill the gap with some evening primrose seedlings that I had originally been planning to plant elsewhere.
Also, although my onions have done well this year - not a single one went to seed -

they look unappealing now. However, there's a row of red chard down the middle of them, with the plan that it will take over when they die.

The alliums and root vegetables bed in general isn't looking too good. I had to replant my beetroots and still don't have a full row. Also, once I'd cleared the weeds out, it turned out that I had a lot more bare earth than carrots. I'm not entirely sure what I did wrong, as it's not the worst bed in the garden for sunlight (it's my second worst) and the carrot and beetroot seeds were all in date. The carrot and beetroot packets say it's not too late to be planting the seeds, they're still OK until July, so I will be scattering more in a bit and hoping.
