Ah yes, the beans are going nuts in July! Check out the 10 foot fence above, these Vermont Cranberry beans are really taking off. The fence used is called a "deer fence" mounted between two poles.
The photo above is a simple (yet beautiful) bean blossom. In about two weeks, these plants will sport many healthy beans.
The Iran Pumpkin (sole survivor of six seeds sent via a Seed Savers Member) plant is now ready to burst free of its protective cage. I'm hoping for at least one pumpkin from this plant so I can save as many seeds as possible.
Now this plant is cool! I bought these heirloom seeds because I liked the "Moon & Stars" effect on the melons - hence the same name of this plant. But now that I am growing these, I'm smiling at the fact that the leaves have the same yellow dots when they're young & growing out.
My final comment for this entry is of the seeds which I purchased from Amazon.com via Hirt's Seeds.
I thought I bought purple cauliflower, but now that these plants are maturing, they really look to be more like broccoli... Huh?
I guess I will let them grow for a few more weeks. Looks a lot like broccoli to me so far.
