Bob and I got a comparatively late start in the yard this year because of the cold weather lingering. Working in the yard, particularly the garden, is gratifying. Take a little patch of dirt, sprinkle a few seeds and plunk in a few small plants, add water and sunshine --- a little love doesn't hurt, either --- and some patience, and voila! you have something to eat. As much as the fruits of my labors, I love going outside early each summer morning, and walking around the yard to see "how does (my) garden grow". There is something truly satisfying in watching things grow and having a hand in it.
Here is a brief pictoral demonstration of how things are progressing in our little corner of the world.

There have been days this past week that I was tempted to sit by the beans (in rows on the left side of the garden) to see if I could see them grow. I could definitely see a difference in them from one end of the day to the other.

It's beautiful! It looks much better than mine. I didn't plant as much, but I'm no where near getting any yeild. Way to go!
Amazing! And beautiful! The quail ate my lettuce, I guess I should try again. Your garden is beautiful and I love the progression photos.
You are the winner. You should get a prize. After next week maybe I'll figure one out.
