Flock Tending

It seems I am now at the point where I am simply observing my garden except for the occasional watering.
A few of the pole beans are definitely sprouting.  I planted 16 beans and so far only 2 have erupted out of the soil and I see 3 more little mounds that suggest they'll be showing up soon.  I'm wondering how long I should wait until I give up on the rest and replant?  Any suggestions?

It appears that my basil plant is becoming very religious.  Almost all the leaves have holes in them. What the crap?!

I have 5 tomato plants:  1 Roma, 2 Grape, 2 Brandywine.  I looked up some info on the Brandwine tomatoes because they just didn't see to be growing as much as the other varieties.  Turns out they are some of the slowest growing tomatoes!  http://www.vegetable-gardening-online.com/brandywine-tomato.html  This morning, I went out to water them and I noticed growth on both plants--I am pleased.

The first black raspberry ripened!

My first yellow rose:

The other yellow rose has begun to bloom but I will wait to post a picture until it is fully bloomed.  This yellow rose has red/pink edges and I think it will be beautiful.

I'm looking for trellis ideas for my summer squash.  I'm thinking of putting in some sort of ramp, A-frame thingy to get them to flow out of the raised box and not cover the rest of my plants. Hmmm...
