Yesterday I had a large picking of beans. Put up 4 quarts again. Of course, kittens and Peanut helped-several beans had teeth marks on them. I have 3 bird feeders near my garden and the kittens are venturing out now, so they hide in the beans to watch the birds (the birds are still bigger than the kittens!) and I think they bite the beans because they're in the way! Anyway, its no big deal-wash em, and cook 'em!
I also have more bell peppers to pick. I think I'm going to try the garden center and see if they have any Ca. Wonder anywhere. Big Bertha is ok-but I still want my FAT peppers. Jalepenoes are making, tomatoes are loaded, but my cukes - they're slow, slow this year. Lots and lots of blooms, but very few cukes! We had 2 or 3 little cold spells after I had put them in the ground, do you think they're just having a hard time coming back? They're vining good--don't know! I always have lots of cucumbers off of just 2 or 3 plants-I may have to replant!!
I've got a spot where I lost a tree due to Hurricane Rita 2 1/2 years ago that still hasn't grassed over, and I believe I'm gonna put cantelope(? spelling?)there. They were $3.00 for one at the grocery store! Unbelievable!

I am smiling, thinking of you picking beans with those kittens and the pup around your feet, helping. Funny. |

Beans are a favorite in my garden. Mine are just popping through the surface. |

Wow...I'm getting envious...I don't even have my veggie garden planted yet...this rain won't let up long enough for it to dry out. I love to plant beans, can beans, all that good stuff! I have a lot of cats that help me do the gardening too, they're hilarious when they're not rolling right where you plant something! |

Sure must be nice to live in an area where you get such an early start to gardening. I think the cukes will come on. Cantaloupe. You have a great day and happy gardening. Bill Mitchell |

Your blog reminds me when I was a young bride in the cold of the WV mountains and my Aunt in Florida wrote me that she was picking tomatoes. I thought that sounded so nice and now I would love to drop by for some of those marvelous beans. Linda B |

Thank you all-I love living in the deep south. I couldn't handle the winters that we have Mid-State, much less those Northern Ones! But, I guess every state has it's good or people wouldn't stay there, right? |
