Early morning clouds brought some cooler temperatures to the garden this morning.
I picked the last of the peas and beans and was thrilled to find my first cucumbers.
Lots of salads on the menu this week.

Garden Beans–Magical colors

Garden Beans--Magical colors

Royal Burgundy green beans.
A stunning purple color, good producer and nice sweet flavor.
A bowl of these doesn’t last long on the table! Great snack!

My first born

My first born

Despite the weather and below normal temperatures in May-I was still able to get my Heirloom tomato plants into the raised beds quite early.
After yet another round of rain, this is what I found this morning.
Ahhh, it’s adorable!

“Because you want more, you want more”!

I cut back on the number of Heirloom tomato plants this year, but I think I have room for just a couple more!

More than “2 peas in a pod”

Dwarf Grey Sugar Pea
An Heirloom Pea–this is my favorite, and only pea I am growing this year. The plants grow to about 2 1/2 feet tall and I use willow sticks to stake the plants.
A beautiful blossom and plenty of sweet tender peas from this variety.
