First two honey select planting are looking good.
Now if the rain would stop I'll get another in the ground.
A little wind came through this evening and sort of leaned a few over but no worries soon as the sun pops out it'll be good as new.
My beans are looking good to since the rain!!

Eastern prickly pears graduated to a larger cage. Their new pads quickly outgrew the small cages I threw over them.

Garden is very slow at the moment. Corn & water melons 6 or 7 more weeks. Tomatoes & peppers should start any day now. Lots of Zinnias attract butter flies and birds. We did have 5 rabbits but I only count 4 now the only thing they eat is clover. Blue birds in house #6 had a second family of babies this year. Baby sparrows in bird house #1 finally left a few days ago. Squirrel comes to visit some times it does not eat vegetables. Lightning bugs stated about 4 days ago.
