June , the frost free portion.

June 4 and perhaps the frost warnings are behind us. We had 2 last week. The bush beans were showing, through the soil, their curved necks which I covered with loose soil. Near one that. The scarlet runner beans had come through with their true leaves which had to be protected with a covering. On the other side of the ledger we had a harvest of rhubarb and a few leeks. The leeks came from a fall planting of seedlings.

So into June we go. Other delights catch the eye; bumble bees on dandelions, Johnny jump up alternating between sunning or shivering and the unkempt bleeding hearts. June should become a verb. So much action, june up.
