We're thrilled with the "purple green beans". They have such a hearty flavor.

We're sure enjoying the harvest so far. The beets went to pickling, the leeks to stews and salad, the radishes to eating.

I can't stand it anymore!!

Well, I gave in today and just had to plant some seeds. I hauled out the seed trays, cleaned up the grow lights and sorted out a few select seeds, making sure I kept some back to plant later. Among the group was Asparagus beans, Cucumber tyee, peas, Perpetual Spinach, Brussel Sprouts, Stawberries, Shallots, White Hollyhocks, Purple and Yellow Datura. They are occupying the top of my refrigerator until my heat mats arrive.
The Lowes is looking promising and have put out some lovely looking climbing roses. Of course I had to bring one home, a pretty coral called Tropicana.
My gardening craze has leveled off some temporarily and Charlie is busy building more boxes for our veggies.
Countdown to outdoor planting:
74 days
9 hrs and
15 min.
