25 Days Later & An Anniversary Gift
This is the second raised be with the corn that I thought may have been a mistake to plant after seeing no progress during the two weeks of rain.
I'm so excited about the changes!
I planted two pole beans seeds per cornstalk, one on each side, and have waited to see the results.
Here is a better angle with a clear view of the pole beans growing quite nicely along side the corn. The beans are growing so quickly that I watching to see if I need to intervene or will they grab onto the cornstalks the same way they do to a pole stuck into the ground.
Yes, the potato plant has also peaked through. Once the leaves are large enough to clear a second tire, I'll add the tire with more filler. I plan to grow it at least three tires high.

the tomato plants have many flowers, as of now, this is the only tomato
bell peppers
pea plants have flowered
At the start of this, I had hoped we would be able to eat at least one thing from the garden. The continuous radish harvest ensures my lowly goal has been met. ;-) Yes, radishes are probably the easiest vegetable to grow (after those tire potatoes) but I am happy.
After Robert ate some radishes from our garden, he built more raised boxes as a gift to me for our 22nd anniversary of the day we met.
More raised boxes, that I filled right away!
The white containers belong to my three oldest children who begged to have their own place to plant a few seeds. We are going to have to do a little transplanting because Nathan has a green thumb! His lemon cucumber and brussel sprouts are going to need more space.
