It has been exciting to go out to the garden and see the growth.
The red runner beans were one of the most biggest surprises.
Growing by seeds they did well in the germination process. Once we moved them outdoors they were not doing so great.
All of the sudden this week they are seeing lots of new growth.
They have started to stretch right up the arbor.

The sugar snaps peas have always done well. The produce garden has been hit twice by a family of deer. They love the sugar snaps peas. They were chomped down twice along with all the berries.

Berry love…
After the deer ripped out the strawberries and munched down the vines on the raspberries, marionberries & boysenberries- Twice. Finally have some new growth back and some blooms.
