Green Beans!


Spaghetti Squash (which is growing in every direction)


Yellow Squash! (we are working on a string trellis for these so they have room to grow vertically...there is no room for them to grow horizontally)


Zucchini!


Lush Soy Beans! (we will be eating a lot of edamame)

Pinch Pots!


It finally rained today and I had some time to make pinch pots. I used clay that our friend gave to us. He dug it out of the Chesapeake when he walked the Appalachian trail!






This weekend my parents came over to give us and help us plant four new trees: one Norway Maple and three Japanese Maples!





They also helped us put up our clothes line!
