The Garden Grows

I used to visit and revisit it a dozen times a day, and stand in deep contemplation over my vegetable progeny with a love that nobody could share or conceive of who had never taken part in the process of creation. It was one of the most bewitching sights in the world to observe a hill of beans thrusting aside the soil, or a rose of early peas just peeping forth sufficiently to trace a line of delicate green. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mosses from and Old Manse

Gardening days have been few due to rain, rain and more rain, so our community garden group has not been able to meet. I was so excited to finally see my beautiful garden after a few weeks away. The beans are huge, that's them pictured at the top of my blog. Everything else is coming on fine, though I am sharing my lettuce/kale mix with bugs. I did manage to get some to make a salad, they were so tender, they melted in my mouth. My first meal with them was really rewarding, it's a shame you cant see the fresh Thyme on my Salmon.
