Mary, Mary Quite Contrary

Mary Mary quite contrary,

How does your garden grow?

With silver bells and cockle shells

And pretty maids all in a row.

What Does A Little Rain Bring?

It's Amazing what the hand of God can do. I can water every day from the hose and see a little growth at a time, but when God sends forth rain, everything seems to double in size. Just take a look at God's "Handiwork"

Harvesting Beans Daily for Dinner

What a nice surprise to see that we are having just the right amount of Beans for dinner. If I have a few too many, they keep nicely in the refrigerator for a day or two. When they begin to come too fast I will be getting out the Food Dehydrator and saving them for another time. But for the two of us, so far, its the perfect daily harvest.

Beans for Two:

Green & Yellow Beans for dinner
Corning dish, about 3 tablespoons
of water, cover & micro on high for
approximately 4-5 minutes 
Serve hot with a little butter

As you may recall a couple weeks ago I wrote about the potato seeds that I had ordered. Well ~ I planted them and they are thriving. I have already started mounding the soil up around them.
