Houston, We Have HOOPS!

All the cool kids have hoops.

And I guess we are cool now too...
'cuz
WE HAVE HOOPS!!!


Rod took this picture from our roof.
Those are cattle panels they bent in half
and secured with T-posts into the beds.

There are cucumbers planted (and coming up) in
the far two beds. 

There WILL be beans planted in the nearer two beds.

The plan is that they will vine their way up
the hoops, covering the top and heading back
down the other side - where they will meet
the plants from the other bed.

The fruit dangles down from the wire
making it A) easier to pick
B) SUPER cool and fun to walk through.

I might need to hang a wind chime
on one of them just because...

We set the drip irrigation to come on at 4am
this morning and water for 4 hours.

It is now 99 degrees outside.
3:00 in the afternoon.
And the dirt is still damp!
WAY TO GO DRIPPIES!

Nope, I'm not excited by the garden AT ALL.
