Plot progress - weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds!

We received a lot of rain this week.  I'm pretty sure it rained at least Monday-Thursday.  We may have received a bit of a drink Friday, too, while I was at work.

I made it to the plot this morning while The Girl was taking her morning nap.  Everything had really shot up thanks to all that water.  Many of the green beans are 4' tall and even some of the scarlet runner beans have reached the top of their arbor.

It was also really nice to see that the snow peas had grown quite a bit.  Most notably, we finally have some that are pickable!

We also have some radishes ready to be picked.

Once I evaluated all that, I started in on weeding.  Just as the planned vegetation had shot up, so had the weeds.  Virtually all of the beds were loaded with weeds and even a few of the paths had some recent additions.  A few vines from neighboring plot owners who're less diligent on weeding had also creeped over.  I spent the bulk of my hour and a half at the plot weeding.  It gave me some time to evaluate tomato growth to do some pruning of the lower limbs for better air flow.  I also was able to find some bean plants that needed a little assistance in guiding their vines onto their trellises.

While doing my weeding, I came across what appear to be some volunteer petunias from one of last year's bean boxes.

I also saw that we have our first baby tomatoes (these are the San Marzanos) in the garden.

Lastly, I fertilized everything and locked up.  The rest of the family will be coming out with me tomorrow to pick the radishes, snow peas, and some of the kale.  I'll apply bug dust to the beans at that time.
