6 week old Tendergreen bush bean flowers.
7 week old teenage Tendergreen Bush bean.
It's so moist and fertile here~ what a paradise!
Everyone has been avoiding trips downtown with the G20 protests (that and, oh, the entire campus has been closed down - frightening stuff going on down there), so here are some starchy and fragrant pictures from last week.
We tediously strung the bamboo stakes together to create an innovative potato cage. As potato leaves appear, more and more soil is poured in until we will get a giant cage of dig-free potatoes at the end of the year.
It was pretty dirty work without the aid of gloves. That's a must-bring next time.
We later realized that we overdid it with the basil that covered 3/4 of the entire plot. Poor coriander will have to fight for its territory this summer.

This perfect meal for one includes a dozen snow peas, two beautiful and one deformed parmex carrots, and three "bell peppers" that look more like long green peppers.
Bumblebees have recently taken quite a liking to my potted bean plants. They latch on to their chosen bean and don't let go for hours even when my camera is an inch away from their fuzzy heads. Is this natural?!!
The peas are invading the carrot-beet plots. It's a weekly chore to detach some of the tendrils from the tall carrot leaves. On a side note: yes, sweet peas! Oh nom nom.
Five days ago the tomatoes looked like they were ready to push the beans off the "balcony."
Today, the tomatoes are succeeding in doing just that. I sense the beginning of a turf war.
The mesclun plot doesn't look too bad after moving several seedlings in between the broccoli and cauliflower plants.
Apple pie, anyone?
16 week old munchkin broccoli.
15 week old pepper.
23 week old supermarket pepper. It's funny how these look nothing like their mother/father that was a fat one pound bell pepper.
10 week old pomodoro tomato already has a baby tomato.
14 week old parmex carrot in a container.
