Well. went to a local nursery to buy some water plants for my pond. Which I did find but then also found more tomatoes I just had to have. So I bought four one pot plants, they are four different kinds.

About the only garden work I did today was when I was outside plotting where to plant them and pounding in some stakes for them. I will plant them tomorrow.

well, they're ones you don't have yet, so of course you need them, right??

Sounds like you were tired out from all the digging yesterday!

I was tired out. I have to stop myself from buying just about every single kind of tomato ha-ha. I just want them all.

I usually eat my first few green beans small and raw. I just snack on them as I am picking from the vine. Young ones are usually very sweet and tender. Yummy!

Oh haha I plucked some beans today! Only nine of them..... but I have heard that harvesting the fruit helps stimulate the plant to make MOAR!

Cukes almost almost ready. Well, one is.

Nothing to pick here but I was just going around admiring all the blossoms on the tomato plants. So okay, the blossoms aren't much to look at but I love to see them because that means they will be setting tomatoes!
