1500 Ladybugs - 10 Beans


I bought some ladybugs that needed to be liberated.

A snack size portion of our first yellow wax beans.

And the kitty who keeps me company.

And found a cute little pepper.

Changing Every Day


Now it's starting to get exciting. It's that time of year you remind yourself how quickly a plant can generate foliage. One moment it looks like everyone is keeping their hands to themselves, and the next, your coaxing the cucumber's death grip off the habenero. No spaghetti squash, Mr. Edaname is not for you, don't hold so tight. Even the okra, missing its necessary heat this last week has made a growth spurt. The tomatoes are all shoulder to shoulder, but in a happy sisterly way.
I think I even saw the tiny beginnings of a bean...

Go Squash Go...


And the squash is in the lead, followed in a close second by the tomatoes. (Although they seem a bit more casual about their growth). There was a cucumber injury which slowed them down a bit, but they seem to be recovering and ready to compete. There's 110 earthworms down there quietly cheering them on.
