Over 100 beans coming up!

I think giving the soil a break last year has made it more fertile this year. Things are coming up: tomatoes, beans, peppers, cabbage, peas, eggplant, turnips, beets and my beloved spinach which I can't get enough of. Kevin waters the garden faithfully twice a day.

And we haven't had much insect infestation yet, although I saw my first grasshopper today.

We have agreed to extend the western plot by another 10x10 area using recycled soil that has been solarizing for two years. Our back yard is finally taking shape and looking less like a redneck yard with empty pots and garden equipemtn along the fenceline.
