tree frog

Today I found a tree frog crawling up the corner of my home. 

Was it confused?  My house is not a tree.

Since I was absolutely fascinated by this small event,

I think I shall never be bored.

Time to pull out the books to learn about tree frogs…

First, you must have a bag of Ghirardelli Chocolate Chips…..

then carefully place them in the CTR Pattern

But don’t leave them for too long.

Will this do for a Borg assimilation?

Like our Pink garden tools?

A little spray paint can do wonders for your shovel!!

Contender green beans are in,

red Chinese Long Beans

and Cranberry beans.

We grow cucumbers in cages rather than across the gound.
We like to be able to see them.  We have regular cucumbers,
Armenian cucumbers,
Poona Keeras and Space Savers. 
I don’t have seed for Lemon cucumbers yet,
which is my personal favorite.  We have also planted Golden Zucchini.

 

garden 007      The red Chinese Long Beans are planted around
the Bamboo poles.

Patrick is happy to be done for the day.
