More Growth Progess

Another extended period of cool, unseasonable weather here. As I write this during the noon hour it is only 63° in my backyard! So here are more photos of growing progress:

First up is kale. I love kale and it is very healthful to eat.

Next is some beautiful lettuce. Look at that wonderful green & red color scheme! And the taste beats anything coming from the store.

Those are pickle plants. I prefer pickles over cucumbers. Usually you can eat a fresh pickle or two and you are satisfied. Cucumbers tend to grow large and difficult to consume in one sitting if you're eating by yourself.

Finally, some string bean plants. Had to apply the Ortho snail & slug killer as the many of the seedlings in this bed have getting attacked as is usually the case each year.

One more item of note--the Big Max pumpkin seed I planted has already sprouted! For such a young seedling it has such huge leaves already. Photo in next post.
