Bean picking with Little E

     As we have discussed in the past, little E planted beans among pretty much all the plants. So, today when we went bean picking I took some pics. As much as I get tired of looking among so many different plants to find the beans it has been worth it. In the eyes of a 3 year old bean picking is an exciting adventure. 

     Above she is in the front finding them among the tomatoes and cucumber.

     The next few show her picking them along the side where there are also cucumbers and peas.

Here she is searching for them among the grape vine and pumpkins.

     Finally here she is picking them from the steps. They started growing up the corn but some have found their way up the stair railing. She thinks these are "So silly beans".

     So, based on our "experiment" this year beans can grow just fine planted with the following: tomatoes, corn, cucumbers, peas, grapes, and pumpkins. Everything grew well with the beans except funninly enough the corn. I do believe that we just needed a bigger plot for it pollinate well enough. 

     Do you often grow plants together? If so, leave us a comment.

          Happy Gardening everyone!
