We suffered a rodent raid. It cleared out all the pepper starts, and 13 of the 16 lettuce starts leaving what you see here. They also pruned the spinach back to stumps, so the trap is baited with spinach. Stay tuned.....

Beans
Today, 5/23, I put in beans. Beans in rows, beans in succession under the peas, beans everywhere. Bush beans, pole beans, heirloom beans, endangered beans. Now I just have to try to remember where I put them all. Black Calypso along the driveway left, Hidatsa shield to the right. Mitla black in the garden to the left, california blackeye between the beet rows.

First Pea Pod
Maddy and I just noticed it today, our first pea pod of the season. This is from the heirloom Golden Peas which have pretty indigo/purple flowers. Our Cascade Peas are blooming too, so the first harvest isn't far away....

M Waters the Lettuce, again
She's really into watering. And she's learning to water the plants without simultaneously stepping on them, which is progress. Things you might note in this picture:
1-From the jacket you can tell that it's 60 today instead of 75
2-Some of those peas vines are taller than M!
3-Someone needs to mow that lawn....
4-She is watering the newest lettuce starts, but the buttercrunch heads right in front of her are ready to eat tonight!
