rainy morning in the garden, 8/11/13

the threat of rain today did not keep us out of the garden.  when it began to sprinkle on us, we kept right on working-it did keep me from bringing out the camera though so there are only a few photos to share.
 early in the spring, we planted potatoes in the asparagus bed.  today, we removed the dead foliage and found a bunch of potatoes under the soil.  these are yukon gold potatoes.

 when i pulled up the first plant, it came up with two potatoes.  they were pretty big too.  the larger one is nearly the size of a baseball.

 bean plants have beautiful blooms.  these are the blooms of a hyacinth bean plant in the vertical garden.

 we also have an asian melon growing in the vertical garden.  we have never planted these before and are eagerly awaiting a chance to taste this fruit.

 have you noticed how many spiders and webs there seem to be right now?  this little fellow was happily having lunch in the canna garden.

rain or shine, there is always cake.  a blackberry muffin cake made with blackberries from the demo garden.
