i recently went to lowes to see if someone could help me with the planting of my "babies". i met a man who basically told me i started too soon with all my plants, and that nothing i planted would grow.
so then i went crying to one of my plant-growing friends, who told me to just go for it--so i did :) after a fabulous weekend enjoying my nephew's bar mitzvah, i spent a bit of mother's day "just going for it"--and planted my "babies" in our city-dweller raised beds. because they were either going to die inside, or outside--or they would flourish, despite the mean guy at lowes.
and guess what i found the very next day:
yep--a beautiful flower on my zucchini plant!!
and even better, guess what i found today:
yep--that's right!! a green bean!!!! an ACTUAL green bean!! and what's more, there are TWO of them!!
so take that, guy from lowes! my black thumb and i have beaten the system!!!
Hooray! I am so proud of you! I planted mine on Sunday too. I think you should make him eat your first green bean! Na na da boo boo!!
