July 14-Beans, beans, beans!

I truly believe if I'd been sitting on my patio (with a cold beverage), I could have watched the beans grow!  Apparently they are pole beans (or do all of them climb?).  Anyway, their long tendrils appeared overnight.  So off to Shopko again for another trellis.  Amazing what warm sunny weather will do!  We had the pea pods in a delicious salad, and I ate a couple more right off the vine.  The strawberries are teasing me, one by one.  Not as prolific as I'd hoped... The chard and beets are picking up.  I'm having trouble telling which is which because I think I threw the seeds in together.  How do I know when to pick the carrots??  I think I'll let them go a while--Scott thinks they'll stick up like the radishes.  I'm certainly learning by doing this year.  I'll let the photos do the talking.
