July 2007

Some of the "Black Valentine" green beans planted at the end of May are ready to be picked. Photos from earlier in the week:

A nice backyard visitor:

Organically-grown green beans from the back yard, it can be done in the city. The beans taste great. Only problem is, we don't grow enough of them. I need to build more bean boxes. We don't have enough room nor sun to grow them in our yard, so I built 4' × 2' wooden boxes with 12" walls. Our beans grow over our concrete driveway.

Some tomatoes are starting to ripen.

Recent rains have greened things up again.
