Garden of Eatin’
About 2 weeks ago I planted my very first garden in a little empty patch of flower bed. Took a whole day to till it up, mix in soil, etc. and I planted one tomato plant and two types of seeds. The tomato plant, Rufus, appears to be doing well, but he has some little tiny holes in his leaves. Gonna hit ye olde Internet to see if I can figure out what’s gnawing on him.
The seeds I planted are cucumbers (Burpee Hybrid II) and haricot verts (French filet beans). I’ve never planted seeds before, so I didn’t know what to expect. But lo and behold, I have little seedlings now! More updates as the weeks go on…
Additional images are fuchsia flowers in the new hanging baskets on the front porch and rhododendrons in the back garden.

I’ve “Bean” meaning to tell you that I’m “Green” with envy: Your garden is lovely! My knock-out roses have been knocked-over by the neighborhood dogs, and will get replanted today. Guess I’ll “Leaf” the gardening to you from now on! lol
