Purple Snap Beans
We got one good harvest of these - enough to have as a side dish for dinner. Now, we're just getting a couple beans here and there.
Cucumbers and Canteloupe
I have both of these sort of trellised on the PVC pipes that crisscross over the garden. Last year, we tried doing the cucumbers on a regular string trellis, and although this method takes up more space, it has worked soooo much better. We've gotten about 8 melons os far. Highly recommend growing those.
Tomatoes and Bees
Michael decided about three months ago that he didn't feel like mowing anymore. He says every weekend that he's going to get to it, and every weekend, he doesn't. I'm grateful that our back fence protects us from annoyed and possibly angry neighbors...But the jungle of weeds has turned out to be a great benefit for the garden. We have birds, bees, and butterflies galore, plus ladybugs, spiders, and praying manti.
It's only been about 2 months and it's just the back yard. I have been mowing the front yard. It's been so incredibly hot every Saturday that I have had the time. Next weekend will be better :)
ReplyDelete@Michael - I'm blaming you for my sad encounter with a bee this morning. If there weren't so many weeds, I would have seen him.
