Beans!

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!
