Runner Bean Harvest

I planted the runner beans too late in the season ā€” we did get some nice vines, and some lovely flowers, but by the time they were getting ready to set fruit it had already turned cool, and in the end there was only one actual pod that was large enough to harvest, yielding just four beans ā€” hardly enough to be worth cooking, so I’ll set them aside to dry and be planted next year… hopefully a little earlier this time!

Late Night Planting

How is this my life? Planting daffodil bulbs at night, in the rain.

Total of ten sidewalk treebeds successfully planted tonight, with between one and four dozen daffodil bulbs each, plus a sprinkling of wildflower seeds from a field in the Hudson Valley that we visited this summer. Thank goodness Iā€™m almost done with the autumn planting!
