It wasn't that long ago that we cleared a spot in the garden and silently planted green and yellow bean seeds into their neat little rows. Dutifully weeded and watered when necessary, the bean plants have flourished.
We've planted four rows of each type, with each row planted just a few days apart from the previous row. The reason for doing this was so that we could harvest beans thoughout the season rather than for just a few short weeks. It's pretty neat seeing the different stages of plant growth. The lovely purple flowers of the green beans with their tiny bean pods, compliment the delicate white flowers of the yellow bean plants.
It's so nice to be in the garden in the early morning. The dew misted over the leaves and flowers. The birds just starting to wake up. It's a nice reminder of the real reasons why we keep a garden.
