The amazing bean

I am just fascinated with my beans this year, they grow about 4 inches a day. Amazing
They are so picture perfect...

Climbing and twisting...


And blooming oh my.
So this morning out my kitchen window, Mr. Rat was in the bird feeder tray having a feast. Ugh


My carnival squash is getting bigger!
My Dahlias are coming back.

Finally I see the lemon cucumbers, there are three on the plant now. I haven't had luck in the past with the green Garden Cucumbers so this year we will see how we do with lemon cuc's

Abby was out with me in the garden today... I'm hoping if she is out there with me enough Mr. Rat will get the hint.

Roma's made it to the table

My garden changes every day and now that I'm home I'm able to experience it. It is truly amazing how thing grow so fast....



More new squash!











My first Roma's to make it to a meal...











Get a few Roma's




















Chop them up and put them with pasta with a bit of Parmesan cheese and we have a happy meal!













Life is good.

The view out my kitchen window







The birds are very well fed. It's very peaceful to watch while sipping my tea.

Things are finally starting to take off...
















So are mellons are taking off, and I fear there will be a lot of them. Need to find out all the things you can do with cantaloupe and honey dew.





My beans just fasinate me this year, it is amazing how perfect they are and how fast they grow.










Looks like we will have Roma's soon.


It's finally getting hot enough for the garden to grow.

Three Apples is all i'm gettin'



So here are the three, yes three apples I'm getting on my apple tree this year. Ugh. Last year I canned just short of 2 dozen pint jars of apple sauce and this year, three apples. Again I say "UGH".

I must consult an apple expert to find out why my tree just produces every other year. Hurumph.
