Beans

We planted our 'signature crop' today - beans. This year's varieties are Kentucky Wonder (green), Tendergreen Improved (green), and Pencil Pod Black Wax (yellow). We should be picking beans in early June.

Salad Day

Today was sunny and breezy and the temperature reached 82 degrees. The three of us met at the garden, cleared more weeds, and planted LOTS of seeds -- leaf lettuce (green and red), curly mustard, spinach, New Zealand spinach, arugula, bok choy, radishes, and carrots. The peas have not emerged. Rain is predicted for tonight and tomorrow so it was a perfect day to plant.
