First Beans and Huge Squash Plants

The first bean crop of the year is almost ready.  Unlike many other plants on the farm, slugs, flea beetles and aphids don’t have any interest in beans so the crop is largely unblemished.  Excited to bring them to market in a few weeks.

The row of summer squash grown in one of our true “no-till” beds that we didn’t shape this spring is almost double the size of any other bed of squash on the farm.  Maybe there is something to all of this “no-till” stuff after all...
