BIG planting day in my neighborhood!

Today was a BIG planting day.  But I started out making my bean trellis since I HAVE to plant Kentucky Wonders.  I remember as a kid working the garden with my Aunt Aggie and my PopPop (grandpa) and picking the Japanese beetles of the leaves and throwing them in a soup can with some Turpentine in it. Boy did we have fun in the garden and then canning the bounty.  Beans, collards, carrots, corn, radishes, tomatoes and probably a lot more stuff. Here's the trellis I made all by myself, but Rell had to help me stand it up cause he's taller than me. 

2 left over

2 pepper plants left over so I figured what the heck! So I stuck em in and we shall see. Got trellis material and also materials to build my compost tumbler (I will have help)

Peppers in!

They r pretty hardy so I hope they will be alright. If not I can still replant!!
