Saving private frejole

My green beans have been ate up. I treated them with sevin dust today. I gave some the other plants that have been nibbled on a quick shake too.

Everthing seem to bee doing very well. I planted one jalapeno and two tomatoes that were left. I still have so many more seedlings left that will go to waste. All the celery that I planted in peat pods came up. I need to find a place for them. I really want celery for the stews and jambalaya. The carrots, radishes and turnips are kicking butt too.

I will be getting some more pics soon.

Garden Update 5-2-2009

There's been lots of changes. Check 'um out.















Here's a new bed. I planted radishes, turnips and carrots here.
















Here are the potato bags. They're doing great.
















I have 3 bags total.
















My bird house gourds are coming up.
















For the first time, our grape vine has baby grapes.
















The okra is doing awesome!
















The beans are just about to start climbing.
















Some tomatoes.
















The first tomato of the year.































More maters.
















The cucumbers are starting to flower.






































































I planted some cantaloupe in the mound of dirt that was created when I removed the sod from the beds.










































Herbies

The wife wanted to create a herb bed. We planted some lemon balm and then all of the seedlings below. This little flower bed faces north so I'm anxious to see how well it does.

Here's what we planted:














Here's some mint. I've read that it will grow to take over the entire bed.
















A little sweet basil
















Some Thyme. I've heard it is also a runner. So now we have a competition.
















Lavender
















Oregano (Greek)
















Lemon basil
















Cilantro
















Thai basil
