"Bean" busy......



This is the new part of the garden.

Notice the lovely pink tape around it.....

This was done in hopes of keeping the "big black dog" off of the lovely soft damp soil so the plants might have a hope of actually growing!



Oh yes, this is what we planted!

Two of these packets were bush beans and the third one is pole beans -- that's why the extra pair of black posts at the far right side of the garden patch.

When we get paid next week we'll be making a trip to the hardware store for some cotton cord to string between those posts for the pole beans to climb up.

Just as a passing note on how things have changed in the time we've moved here. The last time I planted beans I bought ONE packet of seeds and had plenty to fill a much larger space than this. Each of the bush bean packets had 14 seeds in it -- the pole bean packet had 12 seeds and pieces of one more.......but don't think the price of the packet of seeds was any less, you know it wasn't......

It looks like I'm actually going to get the fluorite necklace finished for the show -- I started zipping up the chain yesterday

time to get busy!!
