Well, my friends, it’s that time again.  It’s time for another fascinating installment of  PIGS IN SPACE!

No, wait, that’s another show!  LOL  It’s time for a garden update!  Wahoo!!!

If we keep going like this, in a couple years, we won’t have to mow at all!

The potatoes are pretty sad looking, after our battle with potato bugs and some other kind of beetle.  The taters are good though.  And mine are bigger than Greg’s!  Mwahahaha!!!  ;-)

Here is our first little zucchini!

After the peas were finished, we put in lima beans.  They are pole beans, so Greg made a teepee shaped thing for them to grow up.  When they get a little bigger, I’ll tie some strings at the top and let them hang down for the beans to grow up, too.

Doesn’t this make you think “Feed me Seymour”???  Well, it did ME!  LOL

Here is the whole little patch of limas.  We should get a few messes from it!

If you look closely, you’ll see the green beans starting to grow up the corn.  Alton would be proud of our multi-tasking corn, by golly!!

Here you can see the cucumbers and tomatoes.  Well, some of the tomatoes.  There are cherry tomatoes in a couple buckets, too!

That’s pretty much it.  I didn’t want to bog down the whole interwebs with my photos.  LOL  If you have any questions or comments, leave them below or catch me on Facebook!

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.  Psalm 119:105

    Nice garden! I’ve always wanted to try planting beans in the corn-but our corn patch is so big I’m not sure how it would work-or if Pap would allow it : )

    I like the vs. you chose-I remember it was one I had to recite during VBS at church when I was a kid.

    (p.s. I love June Carter too)
