Jack and the Giant Beanstalk

We think we may see Jack (of the Beanstalk) anyday now. This morning, we switched cages on the garden beds to accomodate the height of the bean plants. We should begin to have a harvest in another three weeks or so but it's exciting to watch their progress.
Speaking of harvest, yesterday we picked our first lettuce and it made a very tasty salad. It's wonderful to know where our salad greens come from, knowing that no chemicals or harmful agents were used in their production. I plan to cut more lettuce tonight before dinner. I can't believe we're actually growing vegetables successfully. It is a testament to square foot gardening, the soil mix, and the concentrated watering. We recommend it highly.

How wonderful to grow your own veggies! We are going to try tomatoes and beans in pots this year!
