Sunny Day

Judging by today you'd never know that we had a horrible snow storm last week.

I'm convinced that the beans Jack bought (Jack and the Beanstalk) were Kentucky Wonder Pole Beans. ALL these babies sprouted inside and are are over 2". I transplanted last night. This morning I put the beans and all my other seedlings under the hoop house and re-covered it with used Agribon given to me by my farmer-mentor-friends. Now they have a lovely, lightly, breezy, shaded area to acclimate to the outdoors before going into the ground.

Ask farmers you know, maybe just from the farmer's market if they have old Remay or Agribon row cover they will give you. Mine isn't perfect, it has holes and rips but because I'm growing on a small space I can use it to protect my seedlings from flea beetle and too much sunlight. I'm so excited by how happy my seedlings are outside today. My cats like it under there, too!
