Today after work, when I walked out onto my back porch to observe my kingdom array of potted plants, I couldn't stop the gleeful shout of "Beans!" before it escaped my lips. This morning, there were no beans. This afternoon, there were five.

Beans! Yay, beans!

IF ONLY GETTING MY MANDOLIN WORKED THAT WAY.

I wonder if there are any hummingbirds to attract around here... If yell when I see beans, I fear what I might do if I find a hummingbird. Or an alien. (-;

I should probably start planning for climbing things. My poor first set of peas just has a haphazardly crocheted net that I only finished about a third of before I got lazy.

I don't know what there are in the way of hummingbirds in Chicago...

I just sort of keep pinning up twine. The best kind is the really fibrous, course stuff, so the vines can grab it, I think. I HAVE BEAN FLOWERS!!!! And I ate my first pea today. It was seriously the best pea I've ever eaten. PEAS! :DDD My zucchini is flowering, along with the yellow bell pepper plant, which is wtf since it's so small, and a few of the tomato bushes are flowering, too. It's all very exciting. We're also beginning to get some flowers, and my clematis vine looks like it's about to explode.

EEEEEEE!!!!
