yes, i did take pictures of my bush bean blooms, but you will have to wait to this evening to view them. i had just enough time this morning to pick some cucumbers, sweet 100 tomatoes and a jalapeno, water what needed watering and take some shots of whats going on in my garden....and leave.

so i will post them later. what did i see this morning? well..

1) my cool weather seedlings are doing well, more are already surfacing from the new seeds i planted just last weekend. (yay)

2) i need to plant my bush bean and soy bean seedlings in the ground. both are growing their real leaves now. (where do i put them, hmmm...)

3) my bell pepper plants (the ones that i thought were slowly dying) are flowering! the one where i planted in my previous broccoli patch has 3 - 4 opened flowers! the others have flowers slowly opening now. (yay!)

4) i didn't go near the zucchini plant. that thing is crazy in the way it just grows so fast! i will have to trim off some of the leaves AGAIN this weekend. sheesh. do you think zucchini plants are actually "fruiting weeds"?

5) some of the small female flowers on my watermelon plant (the ones with the "baby" watermelons at its base) looks like the watermelon is swelling...its only an inch big now, but i can already taste the watermelon sweetness in my mouth....(it takes a month for watermelons to ripen after its flower is pollinated).

6) one of the "grape" tomatoes (the large ones that i think look more like romas, that i grew from seed) is starting to turn orange...woohoo! i can't wait to take a bite out of it.

7) on the topic of tomatoes....some of my heirloom tomatoes are also turning orange too. cool! i think the first heirloom tomato that will ripen will be on the Spitze tomato plant. these are known to make a good tomato paste.

that's all the observations i made this morning. it was just soooooo tempting to stay home that day and enjoy more of the morning sunny warmth....
