Last night, Bill and I cleaned up some of the containers. We administered two cups of lime and two cups of diatomaceous earth. I mixed the two boxes and removed everything that needed to be thrown out so that I can replant in the boxes.
I planted one of the boxes with bush Blue Lake string beans. I have so longed for home grown beans this summer and I want to share them with Landon. He has my heart and I understand why grandparents feel the way that they do.
My sister, Ellen, has been so sweet to share that tow headed little boy with the sparkling eyes. His love of the garden only doubles my pleasure and the fact that he talks about me tells me that he loves me too.
I will be planting some more cucumber plants in the next few days and more bush beans. The sugar snap peas have started to make their appearance and we have lettuce seeds that have shown their tiny little bodies.
Whether it is children or plants, I love to watch them grow. When you do a good job, they reward you well. To date, we have harvested over 180 pounds of veggies and our replanting is starting to really show growth.
