A Townsend's chipmunk checking out the spillway of the rain garden. I think we have two chipmunks, one moved in July, not sure about the 2nd. We have ended our 35-year chipmunk drought.

The newly installed rain garden is operational! First set of plants in (great camas, dagger-leaf rush, streambank violets, western coltsfoot, blue-eyed grass). From peak to peak, it measures 15' long and 8' at its widest, with water coming from the roof measuring about 600 sqft.

For people not on facebook, here's the shade cloth video on youtube.
As we continue to have more summer days of excessive heat (around 100F in Portland this weekend and beyond), consider how you can protect your garden with shade covers. Link to short video in the comment. (Sharing again for people without a facebook account, this is on youtube.)

If you don't have shade cloth handy, you can use a bedsheet. I have some floating row covers, so I've used that. I use binder clips to loosely secure them, just enough to keep the worst afternoon sun hitting the plants/fruit directly.
