Elderberry flowers. The branches on the back of the tree were untouched by my furry visitor. I find them pretty even if short lived.
Soup peas are nearly 6 feet tall. All the rains have given the peas a real growth spurt.
Considering it's growing very far from Louisiana, the 'Louisiana Pole' is growing really well. I was worried about growing beans from such a southern location, but this one seems to be doing great.
Radishes and carrots growing together.
Tomatillos are quite large now. Another plant I was worried about growing considering it's origins. But it seems to be doing good so far. I hope I get a good harvest from the 4 plants!
Outdoor peppers. I learned a lesson with these. Never let the plants start to grow peppers until the plant is a good size. I let these start growing fruit right away which was a big mistake. Now the plants are stunted from directing growth into fruit not plant matter, and bearing much too large peppers for the size of plant. Oops!
Parsley peas finally flowering! Such a strange pea!
'Violet Sparkle' pepper.
Biggest soybean variety so far. I've not really researched what temperatures they prefer. I'm guessing they aren't thrilled with high heat.
1st sweet pea flower bouquet. Already regret I didn't plant more!

. This is not soybean growing country, I guess. There are no farms with soybeans that I know of. Trying several from Zeedman and Manitoba and Sapporo Midori had names that sounded like good choices. They were outperformed by one of the other varieties ... But, "Manitoba" ... And, Sapporo was where they once held the Winter Olympics 🤔!
