Green Bean-ocalypse

Today I checked on the new bed of beans. It's the first time I picked from my 2nd planting.

Whoa baby....looks like the mother-load!

After the first bed got eaten off and on by the deer, I stuck a few sticks in the ground around the plants, hoping they would be pokey enough to deter the ruminants-of-garden-scrounging. They came back to some extent, but weren't producing overly much. So I planted another pack of bean seeds in another bed, along with copious amounts of stickage....

As you can see, this is a fine crop, particularly considering it's the September 5th.

It would appear the plants have thrived. Many of them boasted 10-12 beans, each which will necessitate checking into the Hoyt Freezer Hotel.

On other fronts, we got through our 3rd day of school. Going fairly well (I guess) but tomorrow I need to get a certain someone up earlier, so he can have a better chance of getting his work done before fading away in the home stretch. Or the middle. Or the beginning, depending on how victimized he is feeling.

Ethan is planning to take his first practice PSAT test tomorrow, so we won't see him for several hours. Then we will get ready for the big event...

Nolan:  "You mean we're still  going to have school tomorrow? But what about the wedding?"

Ma:  "It's not until 6:00pm. I think there'll be time. "

OK...back to legumes...
