This may not look like much to some, but seeing this right here on my morning garden walk means so much to me! Seeing these beans pop up despite the cool spring means my family can look forward to big pots of soup beans next winter. Even though it's been a slower and later start than most years, I am starting to see beans (pinto, great northern, and a purple/black cross-pollinated variety), black-eyed peas, carrots, radishes, basil, luffa, and cucumbers sprouting up. Hopefully the corn, zucchini, golden zucchini, and yellow squash will soon follow suit!
