All I can say is Uh Oh.... I probably planted too much.
I don't know what is going on with all the different beans this week, but they about doubled in plant size from last week.
The ones I started earlier, geez, it seems like there were more beans than leaves when I picked today.
I have so many bees here you'd think I have hives out --- all kinds of bees, green bees, yellow bees, black bees, tiny bees, huge bees.... The hum is deafening at times.
Anyway, I have a 100 foot section of northern white beans,,, which according to the package are bush beans, and what I ordered was bush beans, but this week they decided to be pole beans........ so I put up poles, wires & strings, and in the last couple of days they seem to have grown over a foot.......... Looks like the seed company put the wrong beans in the package....
Which makes me wonder know if I'm going to have even more beans............ LOL. Ay yi yi.
It's a good thing I don't have a clue what I'm doing..... because every day is a new surprise in the garden which makes all the weeding so rewarding.
I asked mMy dad made me the equivalent of an old fashioned "milk stool" but a little higher (16"), wider and with very stable braced sides/legs that can handle garden soil conditions. It has a hole in the seat as a carrying handle and is super easy to carry around.... and perfect to sit down on to weed, and picks veggies close to the ground. Works for a footstool, step stool, and even a surface to pressure can outside if I decidee to do that............ Since I'm painting the "airplane hanger" (the garage ends), it is also really convenient for painting the low spots............ Best little "thing" I've had in a while, and so simple to make.
