Cucumbers are starting to form and some of the bush beans are ready to eat. Over in the corner near the gate, the pole beans and sugar snap peas are coming up nicely! The kids, with help from mother nature’s rain, did a great job planting and getting them established at the end of August.

These guys are chowin’ down on the flat topped parsley in the window box near the petunias…Look like swallowtails.
