Just a quick garden update …
Lots of the ladybugs have stayed in the garden and are doing a great job of controlling the pesty-pests.
There are less bean leaf beetles everyday (thanks to my squashing!) and the beans are recovering from all the holes. All but one is climbing. Sadies is flowe...

July 10 – I’m backdating the milestone entry for the beans by three days because I didn’t notice them right away. Judging from the size of them now, they must have started several days ago.
