I'm gonna tell it like it is folks, my planters were not happy this year. Thankfully the string beans grew or I'd really be bummed! My first mistake was buying raised bed soil, even though I mixed it with manure, potting soil and the dirt from the old planter I think water still drained too quickly. My second mistake was planting green bean seeds before the cucumber plants had a chance to grow up the trellis... They are scrawny little things hiding in the back. The beans are maturing and I'll probably pull this first round of plants around July 4th, hopefully the cukes will get some size before the next seeds grow.
The tomatoes were taken out of the pots and put in a small garden I turned over. I told them they're on their own from here on out:@) The squash on the left is a yellow scalloped type and if you ever get the chance to grow some I think you'll find it very meaty and good! You'll want to pick them 1" to 3", no bigger.
Found some green bling in the $1 bin at Walmart-love it! I just hooked the beads together to make a cluster. The big "pearl" dangle on the right is from a set of earrings I found at the thrift store, it's a great size and I like the shiny black and gray bead on top. It's amazing how quickly the bracelet is filling up.
It's a damp, rainy weekend here in Philly, the kind that has me pulling out the pressure cooker instead of firing up the grill...
I hope it's a nice one where you are!
Have a happy day:@)
