Harvest bounty...




Ain't these the prettiest beans you've ever seen?

Yes, I know you can buy them for 50-cents a can at the store... but to me they were worth the trouble! They're crisp, no brown spots, and you can't beat the taste. And there's more still growing in the garden.

What I can't figure out is the zucchini and yellow squash this year. In my garden a couple years ago I had zucchini coming out my ears, and because I was slow to pick them they were growing to the size of baseball bats. But this year, they start to grow small zucchinis but then after growing a few inches long they develop blossom end rot and the fruit shrivels up and dies. I'm watering enough, so that's not it. The only difference (that I know of) between last time and this time is I have them planted in a different place in the garden. Where I had them planted last time I have the tomato and bean plants now, and they're growing like gangbusters. Hmmm. And Hubby suspects we may have a broken sewer line running underneath the yard... that could be the culprit?

I've also picked some jalapenos, and a couple cherry tomatoes, and now I'm starting the second batch of radishes. I also planted some spinach last week, but they're an early variety so hopefully it'll be okay that I started them late.
