Trellis

Rather than fix the stained siding on the side of the house we decided to cover it up with vines. We built a trellis and have planted some vines we hope will grow up and cover it. The two on either end are honeysuckle and the one in the middle is a passion flower.

Open Zucchini Flower

This morning my girl zucchini flower opened. Nothing yet on the boys, many though there are.

Flower About to Open

My first, and only girl zucchini flower looks like its about to open!

First Girl Zucchini Bud

Sure enough, the girl zucchini buds do look different from the boy buds. I was getting worried I didn't see any, but one little lady has decided to brave it with the fellas.

Bean Flower

Spotted my first flower on a bean plant today. It's a pretty little purple thing. I was thrilled to read online that beans don't need bees for pollination so I can leave it inside the screen cage for protection.

Zucchini Buds

The zucchini plants have little buds on them. There are more tiny tomatoes appearing too.

First Tomato!

Spotted my first little tomato today.
