So this is a picture of our dry beans on day two of their sprouting. The previous evening they were merely tiny little sprouts barely breaking through the topsoil. Oh my it appears I am going to be stringing these guys up as soon as this weekend.
And now for a dump of pictures as per requested from one of my readers:
First, a perspective view of the yard/garden as of this evening.
And for comparison, a picture from the depths of our snow storm back in late December.
Now that is a little extreme even for Portland. But we are now firmly into rose season. These are wonderful shots of our front fountain roses and our house.
And I absolutely love this rose called Berries and Cream which is just starting to peak.
And then there is our Rhododendron and our Oriental Poppy.
Last night we had this broccoli as part of our stir fry for dinner. Yum.
And as always, Rosie, Dot and Daisy have been there to scratch, eat and fertilize.
I got the Queensland Blue Squash seeds planted tonight. I have high hopes since all eight seeds of Sweet Dumpling Squash have already sprouted. I did confirm numerous corn sprouts this evening and I got the Buttercrunch and Romaine lettuce starts planted as well.
We are experiencing some unusually extended warm and dry conditions right now. It's Rose Festival which means it is supposed to be raining. Oh well. I'm watering in earnest each morning and doing damage control in the evenings with temps today hitting at least 84 and tomorrow a few degrees higher.
Enjoy.
