The Circle of Life

First, may we all please have a moment of silence for the two courgette plants that gave up their lives because JFC we didn't need ten plants what were we thinking? (I mean...we still have eight, which is about six too many, but you'd think I was putting Farmer Goth's children on spikes with the doleful look he gave me.)

. . .

Right. In other news, WE'RE FULL OF BEANS!!!

Remember when I said I was worried about our beans? Well, I am concerned no longer! This mornings Garden Inspection revealed that several of the beans we stuck into the highly suspect dirt are yielding things. We're on our way to Haricots Verts, people. This is monumental news!

Grow, little bean, grow!

We were also visited by a Small White butterfly that proceeded to bless Every. Single. Plant. in The Courtyard at La Palmerosa. I feel that this is a good omen.

Butterflies attract luck and prosperity, according to a bunch of woo-woo hippies!

The last crate may happen, this week, and I might have just ordered a Japanese maple to stick in the corner by the wall...
