Scarlet Runners

It feels like we're about a month ahead of schedule in the garden this year....the peas are climbing nicely, the tomatoes and peppers are happily doing their thing...and my experiment in gardening...my scarlet runners are now all in the ground and looking to climb whatever is handy. The scarlet runners should produce beautiful red flowers and then beans...some of which I'll harvest and use again next year. As they mature, I'll pass along a photo or two.

At the left is Grandson Brody admiring this years beautiful poppies...and harvesting one crinkled red petal. (He tried to stick it back on after plucking it, without success).
