* My beans have beans!! I discovered that Monday evening. Now some of them look almost ready to eat
* The biggest tomato is about golf-ball-sized and mostly bright red. I might be able to make one serving of no-cook tomato sauce some time this week!
* Cucumbers are growing like crazy. I need poles!
* There's one section on the side yard where nothing will grow, not even the English ivy that loves to take over even amidst the super-hardy ground cover. I may just strew it with mulch and give up.
* BUGS have been eating the leaves of my beans, basil and some other plants. I decided to use a recipe I found for organic all-purpose bug spray: finely chopped garlic and onions or chives (I used chives since I have tons growing here) that you let sit for a week. Ken says it should just be called "repellant" because he can't stand it. I sprayed it this evening. If it doesn't work, at least I've pre-seasoned the beans...
