These plants think it's time to go outside! Somewhere in here are Taylor's 6th Generation Green Beans. She planted a seed at school in 2nd grade and we transplanted it into a pot on our deck. Each year, near the end of the season, we let a few of the beans get large and we save them, dry them out, and store the seeds over winter. Then the next spring, we plant the babies from the mother plant. Every one of the 20+ bean plants can be traced back to Taylor's 2nd grade seed/plant. In another area of the green house, Kevin has some "pole" beans growing. These came from seeds that he put in the freezer in 1999. This year he got them out and had me plant some for kicks to see if they would grow. Almost every one sprouted! There are also more tomatoes that you can count, chamomille, cilantro, lettuce, swiss chard, upteen different kinds of peppers, lemon balm, green onions, chervil, giant pumpkins, zucchini, and more!

Your own greenhouse...so nice and such history in the seeds. Good for you guys! Keep us posted on your garden this summer please.
Wow Mrs Greenthumb. I want to come over and go shopping!
What??!!
This is sooooo not fair! You got the brains AND the green thumb! (and lots of other stuff too)
I am incredible jealous! We have not had a whole lotta luck in our garden this year. The only thing that seems to be doing good is the spinach, which we have started eating. Everything else just dies. I can't wait to see more pictures as the summer continues!.......c.
p.s. We fertilized this afternoon, just as a wedding was starting across the street. NICE!
WOW is right!!!! I am speechless.
do I go to Petoskey and buy my summer plants this week or are they coming up in your truck?
