Deer like Red Beans

 

We had a smart doe able to jump our fence, and ate the red beans (first row), leaving the pintos for us.  A generous doe, with a bean (and pea) fed fawn in tow.   

Being the end of June, we had to put the tomato seedlings in come hell or high water.  We have been in drought all of June, so we kept the tomato seedlings in pots to make watering easier till a rain was forecast.  We had a forecast for yesterday, but only got 0.3 inch.  We got hell.  However, always hopeful for a better July.

Seeds were planted May 18, and received 2 inches of rain over the next 10 days, and now all seeds are growing gangbusters...the usual suspects:  beans, squash and cucumbers.
