With all the rain this year my beans grew to great height and sturdy stocks. I believe in the tale of Jack and the bean stock as I watched these beans grow from one inch to eight inches overnight. My helper Troy planted some pole beans on a frame to help make it easy to pick the produce. They are now ten feet high and loaded with rich, green pole beans. His family would rather eat them raw than take the time to cook them
Nature is really taking care of us this year by providing us with lush growth and bountiful produce. The rest of the garden is pretty well the same with earlier than expected fruit and veggies. I usually had a red tomato on or before July 12Th. This year we have the tomatoes but they are green. Perhaps we need a few more days like today with 30 plus readings
Our cauliflower was mature ten days ago but as usual it all came at the same time. Our friends and neighbours benefit. Well I better get out and pick some beans before they get too large.
Hey H!
ReplyDeleteWe three Hs are enjoying your blog entry!
This year it was decided there'd be no garden here. Aside from tidying up established perennials and adding mulch into the mix to keep weeds at bay, we haven't done much on the gardening side this year. Factoring in everything from aviation camp to holidays, we figured there wouldn't be anyone around this summer to enjoy a garden never mind take care of it properly.
We're looking at T's lovely picture above and we're all jealous of Troy's magic bean plant! :^) We're kicking ourselves for not planting anything to truly celebrate the season this year.
Thank you for inspiring us to revisit the garden beside H's club house! Here's hoping next year we'll have a little bean crop of our own! :^)
Love,
H, H & H
Makes you wonder why anyone in our country should go hungry with all of the lush, fresh garden produce that is grown and in some cases wasted. For now - enjoy the feast.
