They all look fantastic. I see blue ribbons in your future. Dave what kind of carrots are those. I know you told me once but I've forgotten. My carrots always look so pitiful I stopped growing them but I'd like to try again.

I think I'll be getting that first tomato sandwich of the season on Monday. I can hardly wait my mouth is watering already. We had the first picking of green beans tonight. I know you all will think this sounds awful but we are from Hawaii and love it this way. I fried some Spam and Tofu with a little soy sauce add the green beans and serve with hot rice. YumO!

OH OH OH they were called Thumbelina
They were the best carrots I ever ate.
I bet they would do great in containers

I knew it. Great job! The ribbons are nice but I think getting to eat those wonderful veggies is the real prize.
Is this bear hunt with your church group? I hope you have a wonderful and safe trip to Maine. I'll look forward to your wonderful photos when you get back.
