@Blue-Jay thanks, yes, that's a lot of work for hot days, glad you are taking care of yourself and not overdoing it.

gardens look great and seeing such wonderful garden soil always makes me envious, that you leave footprints when you walk on it even... :)

My Backyard bean Nursery. I have 8 varieties of snap beans growing. Blue Jay, Atwater, Alice Sunshine, Red Valentine, Seminole, Medal Refugee, Apple Creek and Tres Hatif de Massey. Most all the beans have a fair amount of wind burn on their leaves. We've had a lot of wind the last week or so. Only one of the beans does not a have a single speck of wind burn. That one is Red Valentine. It seems to be totally imune to wind burn. Just amazing to me.

Sounth Flowerbed June 16th. I'm growing Missouri Wonder, Delicous
Giant, Mr. Tung, Green Savage, San Fiarce which by the way was the
first pole bean to develop runners and climb. I didn't even have to
train it. It's like it had eyes and knew where the pole was. One more
bean called Fin de Vielleneuve which I think looks like it's turning out to
be a bush bean.

bed always.

re: wind burn, this is the first year i have seen this sort of damage. not enough to stop any plants from growing but i was wondering if it was too much well water or wood ashes. certainly the recent rains have vastly improved every garden.
