I got nice and crispy yesterday, so I definitely needed to take it a little easier today. I got home from work around 5, farted around a little, and then headed out into the garden to get some planting done-NO WEEDING!

Yesterday afternoon I put corn, green bean, and yellow bean seeds in containers to help them sprout earlier. In all the books and articles I could find, I found that corn is not supposed to go in until you are sure that the average nightly temperature will stay in the fifties. So....I went ahead and planted it. It's been in the eighties here during the day and the sixties at night, and this looks like it will continue for the next week. It's a little bit of a gamble, but corn has an incredibly long growing period-three to four months. I planted four fifty foot rows with about one foot between each plant. I ended up putting forty eight seeds in the ground. I really could end up having tons and tons of corn, but it is easy to freeze, so I would rather have too much than not enough. I also planted my beans today and set them up on either side of my makeshift trellis. As you can see from the picture, it's in pretty long rows as well. I am really looking forward to having enough beans to eat all I can handle now and still have enough left over to freeze and help me get through the winter months. Wow, that sounded like I'm expecting famine, plague and lean months without easy access to any grocery store. Well, maybe I am.....Ha ha, sorry. Not an end of the world guy, I promise.
