Even though it was almost a full month late, I decided to plant the stuff I had started in the dome.Why not, I figured. There was no room in the dome, so out they went.
I planted tomatoes, kale, cabbage, peppers, lettuce, carrots and purple green beans. There are also three melon plants with no melons.
Here are the green beans, called Royal Burgundy. When you cook the purple beans, they turn green. I like them because my dad always planted them and they're easy to find when it's time to pick. Today's the first picking of the outside beans! Yay!
I haven't killed the flower garden, yet.
Over in the Growing Dome it's a tomato jungle inside. I planted fewer tomato plants this year since they overwhelmed the other plants.
But they still crowded and covered the basil, cucumbers, peppers and one last crop of indoor green beans.
The other side is crazy, too. Note to self: You may need to revisit how to corral the tomatoes.
And it's the lonely, empty bee yard. I saw their new mom yesterday, though, and she says the bees have easily adapted to their new terroir, which makes me happy.
Late summer looks pretty good, don't you think?
