make it happen!
It’s been exactly one week since I planted my first beans. Here’s what they look like. They were so cute that I planted another four rows after seeing these. I just hope that rabbits don’t like beans . . . who am I kidding?!
Here’s a look at what my hands looked like after this evening’s post setting extravaganza:
We were able to complete one of the long sides of the fence. It took me 20 minutes to dig the first hole; I was unable to complete the second hole; however, Dwight came along and finished them. When I had a free moment, I quickly planted another four rows of Blue Lake bush beans. As usual, it was too dark to take a pic of the finished work.
Lisa summed up this evening’s activities by saying that she was reminded of Alice in Wonderland’s trip “down the rabbit hole.” Four post holes were dug by as many people. The 4×4 posts are 12 feet long. The holes are three feet deep. In addition to setting the posts, the lawn was mowed and trimmed, and onions were planted and watered. Here are a few shots of the action:
