5. Cucumber vines - only two are trellised right now. This year I planted Borage (aka Bee Balm) in front of the cukes. On the one hand, bees are swarming all around them and into the cukes. On the other hand, I didn't know borage could get that big! lol

6. Contender Beans

{{gwi:84060}}

15. Former (and future) bed for the Sugar Ann Peas. I made two furrows running down the bed, fertilized, filled with compost and then covered the whole bed with cardboard and newspaper, with straw on top of that. At planting time (this weekend) I will cut a hole through the cardboard and plant:
