I Can't Believe it Actually Worked!

So Chad decided a while ago that he was going to plant some green bean seeds in a little planter box. I was skeptical to say the least, but Chad was determined. He and Hannah watered them every day and pretty soon we had little green shoots. Well the shoots then grew into a huge bush, but no beans. Chad and Hannah kept at it and didn't give up. We went out of town for the weekend and were afraid they would be dead when we returned home. They were definitely sagging, but upon closer examination--We found beans! Big ones, in fact. Hannah and Chad were able to pick them and we were about to eat the fruits of Chad's labor! They were really good too! Needless to say I am very impressed! Who knew?!?

That is cool they worked! Damien and I planted a little garden this year (we'd never done it before) and things are starting to come up! I am excited to have fresh veggies!

There is nothing better than garden vegetables. Good job.
