J and I put up a little leaning chicken wire wall for the beans and peas to climb.



The pole variety of bean grows a large stalk very quickly. The stalk twirls a little so it automatically weaves its way into the chicken wire.



The peas have little tendrils that reach out and, when they find something, they wrap tightly wround it. Half of them have found the chicken wire. Once they wrap, the tendrils can't be undone... they wrap tight. Some garden weasel, probably the local rabbit, has started eating these leaves. It must die. But since I won't kill it, we will be putting up more chicken wire as fencing.



Left to right, carrots, zucc, cauliflower. Yes the zucc is growing right massive immediately, and we have taken one out, leaving us with two plants.



The corn has begun, and we will thin it next week.
