Let the pollinating begin



I saw the first bloom of the garden peeking through the leaves this evening. The squash are looking very good. The four tomato plants that were damaged by frost now have new growth coming in.

The big news is that I planted my germinated bush beans. I must have a greener thumb than I thought I did. Almost every bean I germinated sprouted. I could only use one of the three germination baggies worth of beans. So I gave the other two bags to neighbors. These were the Blue Lake variety bush beans. I also had a package of purple bush beans but I thought I would wait to plant them until fall because the package said good for milder weather.
Also, I planted two sweet basils in the back bed. The other two I planted look really stunted from the frost damage, so I figured I would hedge my bet.
