Beans!
May 16, 2008
No photo because it’s raining (again). There is a lake where the back path used to be. Late yesterday afternoon, on my daily stroll around the garden with Garden Man, oh he of the raspberries, I noticed little bean heads poking up out of the ground. YAY! I wasn’t sure they were going to make an appearance. They took a lot longer than last year, but I keep forgetting this spring has been cooler and wetter. Um, yes. I used last year’s seeds. There were so MANY in the package and I used only a few. They were great beans, too. Sure, I kept them in a tin in the sweltering garage, so maybe I should be punished by the seed gods. But I have beans!
No lettuce or parsley yet. I wonder what’s up (or not up) with that? Please don’t remind me I COULD have planted them about a month ago. OK?
And thank the good Lord for radishes. I don’t know what I’d do without the almost instant gratification they provide.
I couldn’t NOT post a photo. It’s not from today. This is a closeup of a coleus and fuschia about to bloom in a pot by my front door.
Happy gardening weekend!

Soory you have rain. We are having a heat wave. I love the color contrast of the fushia and the coleus. I think it’s time to get my b*** in gear and do some containers.

They always come. Ever heard patience is a gardeners best friend? One I never have around!

Thanks for your help with the azaleas! I have added MD to my sidebar. I was wondering. I love to hear how other gardeners in different parts of the country garden. I can relate to MD, but some areas I can’t, though I try.:) Have a super day! Wonderful here!

We had a monsoon here yesterday and the sun actually peeked out today for a few hours.

Someday I’m going to be brave enough to plant a vegetable garden. You will have to be my mentor and gardening guru when I do.
