Here comes the sun


Green beans looking for the sun...


This is yellow and red corn, summer squash, basil and sunflowers.

Here is our setup for the seeds, it works great under the table.  I had a old shop light in storage and added full specturm daylight bulbs ($5) and we have our own sun.  We first started beans and peas in a sunny window
but they grew very leggy from the lack of sun lately.   I think our new setup should make up for the cloudy days
We are giving them a windy treatment (fan on high) to make there stems stronger and keep them from getting any taller.  I will also plant them about 6 inches into the ground.  We have a second round of beans and peas just started today, so we should have beans and peas all summer.
