Green Beans and Daisys

Worms, Where Are You!

Back in April, the Daisy meeting was in our garden. We talked about reduce/reuse/recycle, explored the compost bins (looking for worms, who stayed well hidden from all the giggles and eews...) and planted a row of green beans in the garden. It was timed around Earth Day, which the girls had been learning about in their kindergarten classes. The attendees earned their Green Daisy Petal (Girls Scouts) for "Use Resources Wisely."

Gotta Have Snacks

After all the digging around, we washed up and enjoyed a Fiesta Garden Party with tea sandwiches, strawberry lemonade and cookies. Our meeting/party was the week after Fiesta had ended in San Antonio, but hey, what's one more fiesta!

Green Beans And Bacon Anyone?

We need to go back and shoot an updated shot of the green bean row now. It's producing nicely. We took a big bag to share at the end of the year Daisy Pool Party yesterday. We even had a few for dinner last week. If you cook them with bacon and chicken broth, they probably no longer count as a vegetable - but man, oh man, do they taste good!
