Just took these today. Will be updating my layout and pics in another week or so, kinda made a mess after getting rid of some terrible soil that smoothered roots of other plants. BTW, my bean plant is in a self-watering contraption that I threw together after watching some youtube videos.
PS the spots on the leaves is just some cinnamon I springled around the plants because I had a bunch of ants on my balcony.
they look great. I have noticed a few zukes starting to form on my plants but they are weeks from doing much. Actually they are the beginning of the blossoms not the fruit. I pulled weeds today, more weeds (grass) than anything else due to our rains, but at least they come out pretty easlily.
TRosa, looks great! I didn't know that about cinnamon!
My garden is doing better than I expected, and much better than it has done in the past. I think my thumb might be getting greener.
I've had an amazingly weed-free summer so far, and haven't done anything to prevent the weeds; not sure why this is. If it continues throughout the growing season, I'd love to be able to repeat it next year! Last year the weeds took over and toward the end of the season the weeds won and I finally gave up.
TRosa, looks wonderful, I think I will try it next year. I think it's too late to start this now in NC.
I picked my first yellow squash today, looks really cute. I am still struggling with my plant that a lot of it falls off even thou I have been pollinating it by hand. Bees didn't find my garden yet. Any suggestion on how to attract bees?

What else can I plant now?
happehart, I'm the last person to ask for advice on when to plant in NC, I killed every plant I had when I lived in NC, so here's a link to an article on late spring veggies for NC
I can only hope that I get lucky (I so envy you) and get some summer squash in, I could eat zucchini every day of the week. Yum.
I'll see if I can find info on attracting bees. Though I won't have luck with the bee pollinating process since my patio is enclosed. May have to give up on certain veggies altogether if I'm not able to hand pollinate.
Anyone plants peas? My sugar snap pea is coming up nicely.
Your sugar snap peas look great!
I planted some this year and they aren't doing well at all. No flowers yet - but it's been a cool, wet spring. Just last week I was still running my woodstove at night to ward off the chill. Today it's near 80! That can't be good for the plants!
Not exactly what I thought will attract bees but if someone else has better ideas with less skin exposure please share with us.
