Breaking Through

I’m a little later this year than planned, due to my schedule, but the veggie garden is looking great.

My green beans were one of the last things I planted and I’m happy they’ve sprouted.

I already posted a photo of this on my Facebook page, but I thought I’d share it here as well.

There is something so simple yet beautiful about a fresh bean sprout breaking through the soil. And our soil is even more gorgeous than ever this year, thanks to a heaping helping of mushroom compost.

Green beans are one of the easiest vegetables to grow in a home garden and, if you can keep the bunnies and deer from nibbling on the plants, not much else bothers them.

It’s supposed to be a hot one this weekend – in the 90’s, from what I’ve read. I hope you fellow gardeners all have your veggies in and will have a chance to sit back and relax a bit.
