What's the haps?

Garden update time?  Yeah, I thought so, too.

I was looking at my pea vines and thinking to myself, "I don't remember them being this tall last time."  So I decided to look at a picture of the peas I grew last time.  And I was right.  They weren't anywhere near as tall as they are this year.  I don't know if it was the variety or what, but dang!

In case you can't tell, the one on the bottom is this year's.  But of course you can tell!

If you're wondering why in the world my vines look so jacked up right now, it's because we had a big wind storm that threatened to pull the whole thing down.  Because the top one-third of the plants were not supported, I tied them all together in some last minute maniacal bundle, in the hopes that they would hold each other up.  Turns out it worked!  For now, anyway.  The support stakes are definitely feeling the pressure, so I'm not entirely sure how long they will hold out.

The pinwheels are to deter birds.  No idea if it will work, but what the heck.

Guess what else.

This!

Which means this!

I can't tell you how excited I am about that.  And also this.

Yummy!

It's so cool to actually be eating out of the garden now.  I'm amazed at how thrilling this is turning out to be.

I'm also excited that the green bean plants are finally making some real progress.

I hope this means that we'll actually be getting some decent fruitage!

I don't know what to do with Scruffy Clone!  I put him in there as an experiment (I'd heard rumors you could do this with tomato cuttings).  But now that he's doing well and all, I realized that I don't really have a place to put him.  Which is a shame.  I hate to just let him die in that inadequate little makeshift planter...

Considering putting him out on the sidewalk with a sign around his neck:  Free to Good Home!

The end.
