garden porn, monkey pod vines, christmas limas, bb

GARDEN PORN


so my wife she has a friend who
is very witty
she reads my blog a lot and
enjoys seeing pictures of my
garden

she called those pictures
garden porn

MONKEY POD VINES
so my medical school friend has a friend that has these vines
that grows along an arbor around his house in the summer
it takes over the arbor and looks so luscious

so we were talking and he said hey ive got a bunch of those
monkey pods you can have so you can plant them on your
arbor

here are those monkey pods

its the thing in the white cup that looks
an organism that you would see under
a microscope or something you might
see falling from the sky from outer space







here it is after its been planted for a few days












its the small string line vine in the middle of the picture
it sure grew out of that pod fast
then up that string
hope its not like one of those old horror movies from the
the 50s-the pods

will show pictures as it progresses this summer
hope it doesnt reach out and grab our cat

am a little concern since i cant find anything on google
about it
that means its not real and doesnt exist

CHRISTMAS LIMAS
so i read this article in a local paper about these christmas
lima beans that grow all summer and produce beans in the
fall
so i ordered some
here they are










they are the size of my thumbnail
sure are pretty
so i planted them and they look like this












whoa they sure grew fast
they might outgrow the monkey not on google pod vines

supposedly they grow all summer and love the heat and grow
to about 10 feet long
then in the late fall you can harvest the beans and eat them
apparently they have a meaty taste and have a lot of
nutrition in them

hope they dont take over the garden like the monkey pod
vines seems to want to do

will post the progress of these vines as the summer progresses
hope we dont have another kudzu on our hands

BB
lebron will have a great game tonight since
that reporter ticked him off after the game
am sure dallas will wish that reporter would have kept
his mouth shut
