Today was too hot to do anything. Plus I felt sick. But I did plant the beans I started 2 weeks ago. These are Ning's Chinese pole beans. Other than that I don't know what kind.
Starting them in containers work'ed nicely. There were 10 containers, each with 2 or 3 plants. I planted them were I dug up the onions. Watered well. Kept the straw mulch in place.
I didn't have the energy to build a rabbit/deer cage so they have a temporary chicken wire cage. Might work. Might not.
Also planted seedlings of the "Minnesota Midget" Cantaloupe.
Nice roots on these beans. Not too rootbound.
The White Potato multiplier onions are the biggest I've grown. All were the same size, both the first bed planted in September and the second planted in November. I think - need to check back in this blog.
The onions and German Porcelain garlic are drying in single layers in cardboard boxes in garage. I didn't want to cook them in the sun.
There were also a couple of nice looking turnips. First time I grew these.
