As some of our beans and corn did not germinate right, or, in some cases, at all, I’ve been replanting like mad \u2014 in between rain showers. Yesterday I also planted a big row of Amazing cauliflower and Umpqua broccoli. The only trouble was that the soil is partly heavy clay. So, because of the rain, my feet got bigger and bigger as I walked down the rows, planting plants. I had to stop three times to scrape the clay buildup off my shoes. Ugh! But they’re in and looking good.<\/p>\n

It’s cold today and rainy but just look at one of our peonies.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today, our friend, Sherri, came to help weed. She and Will weeded the row of pole beans where the Folsom Indian Ruin and Monte Gusto beans were planted, along with Iroquois. I followed them, planting in seeds where there were empty spots. One thing was weird. When I hoed in a row, I dug up a ball of roots. On closer look, it was a Folsom bean, sprouting like a potato! Holy cow! I carefully planted it back in the row but marveled at the different way it sprouted than other beans. With most, it’s a root and shoot. Period. This looked just like a tiny potato!<\/p>\n

These are the rows that got weeded this morning.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sherri and Will got a couple of rows weeded and looking great while I replanted half of a Six Nation Iroquois row. The first part germinated perfectly. The second half, not at all. Strange things are happening this year! Now they’re working at weeding and mulching the two hoop houses while I’m trying to plant some more pole beans in the Sand Garden. I got rained out but will try again in a few minutes. One thing is that with the rain, our peonies are looking fantastic this year! Happy weekend!<\/p>\n

I have to share these beautiful petunias I grew from Baker Creek Seeds!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
