Recent days have been warm to hot. There has been a bit of rain and I have been watering in the morning. the result: JUNGLE CHAOS!! We have 12 raised beds, 4' by 8'. One of them is devoted to squash which are bursting out from beneath extravagant leaves. Bean vines are storming up the stock fence trellis and the potato plants are waist high. No blooms yet which makes me think they are too satisfied and confident; they need to get a scare so they produce the next generation. Lazy. Couch Potatoes, says our friend, Bill. Does anyone know how to get them going? JP did rummage around and found one the size of a big olive. The sweet potatoes are starting to look alive after a rocky trip by UPS from Tennessee. We also have a few Lima Beans which seem to be climbing. Who knew? Meanwhile, we routinely rip out and discard the bindweed ( a watery pink variation of the morning glory) which is the only plant in the garden we have ever made pottery ($$) from so these expensive seeds surrounded by expensive wooden frames and fencing can thrive. There is no justice in the world.
