Garden update

Two days ago I was outside walking through the garden as I do a few times a day when I'm home. I haven't quite decided what I'm looking for or what I think might happen between now and when I last looked at the garden 30 minutes ago, but I digress. This time I was watering as I haven't watered in about a week. The weather has been cool, I have a ton of mulch laid down and not much moisture has been lost so I don't water as often as I normally would this time of year. As I watered I noticed that a few of the BlueLake bean bushes are starting to produce flowers - FINALLY! It seems like I've been waiting a lifetime for something to come out of the garden! Which reminds me - that first zuke that I was due to eat last week shriveled and didn't make it. The plant is still alive and happy and producing two more zukes, but that first one.. yeah, not so happy.
