Time Travel

Time travel: I don't mean the kind with a flashing sleigh-like ship with an elegant Victorian handle. Maybe more like the '90s tv series. A series of leaps through the last few weeks, starting with today and working backward.

This is one of my workspaces. Look well, I will probably never show it to you again. The important thing in this picture is the empty mayo container with BEANS written over manila tape. This is the theme of today's program.

These are not beans. These are peas...in a potato bed. However, I did plant a few green beans here in the empty spaces so it does fit the theme. Plus I'm really proud of this weird sticks and string set up. I've fixed it twice when the dog trounced it. I probably need to get over this pride issue and buy something sturdy but I think of this as a kind of found art project.

The old bean bed. It's overhung with cedar, oak, and maple. I feel sorry for it really. So far beans are the only things which will grow there. I've tried onions, potatoes, cucumber, melon, peppers, and basil. This is the original garden bed that came with the house. I'm not quite sure what they were thinking when they put it there.

Today for garden therapy day I planted edamame (soy beans for fresh eating), Vermont Cranberry beans (hard shell), and a few yellow bush beans. I mixed a few Empress bush beans in with the tomatoes (on the left) and peas (on the right).

Tomorrow I'll work on posting the 3 sisters garden L. and I planted last week. We'll do a little time hopping, so be patient with me.
