I am so excited, I found two scarlet runner bean sprouts against the fence. The bush beans haven't sprouted yet, though.
iPhone cameras are not meant for macro pictures, but here is one of the sprouts.
There are more and more rainbow carrots coming up, too. We had thought most of those were washed out when the water go turned on full blast by some careless person. I think we will get at least a few of those, without having to replant.
Rainbow carrot sprouts. You can barely see them.
Also, I had to very quickly, on Tuesday, run down and put stakes up for the tomato and pepper plants because a big wind storm hit. The little Roma was getting whipped around pretty bad. I think it is okay now, but it looks so funny tied to that gigantic wooden stake. The peppers have 3 foot sections of bamboo and the tomatoes have 4 foot pieces of square wood stakes (1" by 1"). They are tied on with stretchy plant ties.
The peas are growing well, but not in a strait row, lol. It seems my daughter got a bit carried away at the end of the row and made it more of a cluster:
All the green is pea sprouts. Oh well, they will just have to be trained up the fence a little more carefully, that's all. I hope we get this good of germination on the bean side. It looks like every pea came up, and more.
Here is what the whole thing looks like right now:
You can't see the sprouts, but it is looking better and better.
And here, once again, for comparison, is the radish/onion rainbow by the spigot, where it got washed out, for comparison to the other side:
Neither is perfect, and the spigot side is starting to look better, maybe by the end of the season you won't be able to tell. After the radishes are harvested for sure.
