Topnotch Wax Bean and Mother Stallard along with Monte Gusto yellow wax and the Scarlet Runner beans are all up or sprouting. Haven't seen the KOTG Limas or the Oriental Yard Long Beans pop. I almost made it to planting stage last night but a beesting took me out. So yesterday's priorty is back...

Got bee stung right beside my eye/eybrow to the side about an inch and it would have been worse. Meanwhile it's swelling and expect eye to possibly swell shut. Took my 2 benadry. I will take 2 more in 6 hours. I can feel it tingling and skin tightenigh as it swells to the edge of my nostil. No...

I headed out to the Compound to plant beans and Nope, not today. Hubs decided everything around the greenhouse had to go, yes, bricks and gardens as well. Had to rescue the chocolate mint. I harvested it and there's a mixed mint off type I grabbed some handfuls as well. Chopped down the White IN...

OK point me to the right thread for bean growing advice and the pretty photos...

We both like the bunnies but now they are in the garden and it looks like may have hatched there in the strawberry patch!! Spotted a half grown bunnie in the garden last night. My BEANS are up!!! ARGH!!! Bunnies across the street and on our walk down the road. Cannot have them in the garden...

We had the beehive right up against the fence one year and planted cukes on it. Those bees would chase us out of the garden! We both had to run to the far gate to get away. So we moved the hives back about 15 - 20 feet and solved the issue. Now the swarm is right on top of the garden post so...

Pole Wax Beans, Good Mother Stallard, both are up and growing. The yellow wax Monte Gusto had 3 out of 10 pop up so need to resow. I haven't seen the Scarlett Runners nor the Magic Runners at all yet. I think I planted King of the Garden Limas and Oriental green beans so those should be long...

Thurs, May 29th garden report. It was an exciting morning in the garden today. Hubs tilled my two corn patches to be while I ran ahead of him and ripped out stakes and not nailed down weed barrier in one plot and the pile of sticks stones and pulled weeds in the other. Fences separate both areas...

It only hit 70 and I totally wimped out on bean planting and raking in the garden. We had honeybees swarm and it was trying to lift equipment up ladders. I did 2 tries, then he took mine down and set up a hive body and super on top of the tv antenna pole and they moved in but it has no bottom...

I am transplanting my blackberries into containers, 1 each, and the same for my raspberries and uppotting the blueberry bushes. They are going to live in my 20x45 foot beeyard with the bees. There are grapes on either side. I hope the containers contain them yet let them overwinter with out...

I only use the iphone for egg sales and comfrey plant sales customers to coordinate pick up appts and my daughter calls me on it. The rest of the time it sits on the table and I keep it charged. That's it. I live on my laptop when I'm not in the garden...

Maybe I should finally go over to that seasonal nursery...I've been avoiding going for 2 weeks now. Weather is so blah. Garden needs it's final tilling and I've tons of work to do there just relocating stuff. Plus there's a turkey family in there. It's fully fenced...

Wow only significant thing about 1975 was I was in San Antonio Texas, almost done with Basic Training this month back then....

Hah, 'early 50's' would be my older bro...I think I'm in better shape and more mobile!

But how does gradually eating more beans help with digesting the inulin starch from sunchokes?

I bravely looked over my sprawling purple foliaged tomato seedlings and put them to set up in the half empty pockets of my greenstalk. Quite happy that some saladettes, Gandolf, Dragon's Eye, and cherry Jan's are all still surviving. I have Elgin Pink and Clayton's Purple for beefsteaks along...

Love the fresh tilled dirt and as planting progresses up till the first week of July or so...then the pigweed amaranth seems to overtake the garden and my weeding efforts (1 plant spews 10,000 seeds) and it becomes a towering 8 foot jungle of mosquitos.... but I continue to try to win over the...

Beyond thrilling to get a package of beans in the mail...
