The Radish and the Bean


The radishes are pushing out of the earth to expose their color and size while the beans are dangling and dancing like wind chimes.



The victory garden is currently producing squash, zucchini, a variety of herbs and lettuce each week.  I usually harvest the squash and zucchini every other day while the lettuce and herbs are picked weekly.  The radish and green beans are now ready for a weekly harvest too.  There is fruit on most of the pepper and tomato plants and will be ready to harvest in the upcoming weeks.   I am sad to say that the gastropods have breached the perimeter, yet again, and destroyed the green bean sprouts.  I decided to fight back without using violent force.  I have re-planted the green bean seeds in pots and set the pots away from the gastropods reach.  I hope to see sprouts in a week.  Once the plants are big enough I will then transplant them into the main garden.  Once again the gastropods have disrupted order in the victory garden...until the next battle!


Evidence #1: picked bean on ground
Victory Garden Alert!  Victory Garden Alert! This is not a test.  The victory garden has missing beans!  The bean robber has struck again.  Authorities found a lonely bean near the crime scene.  The lonely bean is now in evidence and under examination by the local CSI.  Updates to the case will be posted once the examination of the evidence is complete.
