With the torrential rains from which we appear to be emerging, we'll forgo planting a second block of corn, and tuck in a few more tomatoes, beets, lettuce, kale, chard, beans, peas (snow, snap, and shelling), carrots, basil, and onions. I added the shelling peas to the perimeter of the corn block for added nitrogen and to help anchor the corn roots if we get another big summer wind.

Roses in bloom include Maiden's Blush, Dark Lady, Iceberg, an old double red nameless, William Baffin, New Dawn, Red Grootendorst, Topaz Jewel, Bonica, Fair Bianca, Sea Foam, Carefree Beauty, Schneekopf... several more here and there and some not yet in bloom.
