In the Garden

I haven't had much time to get outside other than to walk to pups, but this morning my boys graciously allowed me to take some pics of our gardens. My guy put a piece of lattice in the re-christened strawberry garden to hold the cucumbers, which are growing like crazy. This morning I counted three flowers on the somewhat wilted, brown strawberry plants, so they're still hanging in.

I was surprised to see the cucumbers were already flowering, too.

I intended to get out there this week and cut some herbs for drying, but the puppies ate my best intentions . . . I will trim some chives today, at least, to cook with for my dinner.

I've been picking and eating radishes all week and yesterday gave some to our neighbors to try. This second bunch are again super crisp but not too hot.

The pole beans have topped the string frame and are looking very healthy.

They're flowering as well, so our odds of having home grown green beans at Thanksgiving are looking good.
