Plants are growing! Seeds are sprouting! These are happy gardens.

It’s summer, and the boys are happy, too!

This week the green beans started unfolding from the dirt. Their stems bend up out of the dirt, but it looks like their heads are still stuck in the mud. The next day we notice they are up and out and looking at the sun.

Morris’s radish seeds started to sprout about two days after they were planted. Their leaves are brood and roundish, whereas carrot sprouts are so tiny and feathery.

The basil, cilantro, and dill seeds that Mo and I planted in very early spring are happy in Rex and my garden. They are starting to get stronger, fuller, taller. I’m looking forward to using them in my cooking.

So far, we’re off to a great start!
