The boys are off at the Alma Highland Festival this weekend. I think the House Orchestra has five shows plus the parade! M was also running in the 5K race there this morning. I am sure they will be tired when they get home. Since the weather was so nice and we knew the boys would be away, we worked last evening getting the black beans and corn planted. It goes fairly quickly with three planters. B picks up these planters at garage sales. The area at the far end of the garden is the black bean area. These rows are the heirloom corn.
P loves to help too.
This morning after dropping the the boys at school at the crack of dawn B did a lot of weeding in the fenced garden. This evening we planted some sunflowers. P did a little cake and brownie making too.
We pulled a big bag of radishes that were marking rows of carrots, parsnips, and beets. P and I are the only ones in the family who eat radishes so we shared most of them with the neighbor who will juice them. I have also read that you can pickle radishes. We may try that with the next batch just for fun.Our lettuce is off to a good start and the first of our peas are flowering.
How does your garden grow?
