Hard Work Pays Off

After several days of heavy rain, we returned to the field and found that the rain was just what our crops needed!
Even though the heavy wind and rain made our bush beans (below) fall to one side, we now have a handful of harvestable beans. We put a row cover on the bed to protect our crop from a freeze tonight. If all goes well, we will have lots of green beans this year!

Our pac choi and Chinese cabbage (below) are doing very well too and are ready to be used used in salads now. We will give most of them a little more time to get larger so that they can be used in stir fries and soups too.

Finally, our kale and Thai basil still have a ways to go. While they have gotten more green since being transplanted, they are still quite small. We are hopeful that this cooler weather will be just what the kale needs to be successful.
