On June 30 (Monday), we enjoyed our walk down the driveway to the mailbox. We saw several of our neighbors’ cows underneath the Bardford pear tree. Butterflies fluttered on the driveway as we walked down to the mailbox.
Later in the day, I took some pictures of my bucket garden.
I checked the garden and discovered tomato hornworms on some of the tomato plants. They got squished.
While Bruce mowed, using the loppers, I trimmed trees along the north fence.
I snacked on blackberries along the fence.
We worked out in the yard moving branches from pine tree two.
As sunset approached, I snapped a picture of the wild persimmons.

I love that little baby calf! What does one do with a yard long bean, other than measure 3 feet? I do not think I have ever heard of one.

They are also called asparagus beans. They are a cowpea, like black-eyed peas. When young, they can be treated as the same as green beans for cooking. I’ll eat them raw right out of the garden. When the bean is older and the seeds make the hull bumpy, as in the picture, I shell them and eat the peas as I would black-eyed peas. The peas even have a black eye.
They don’t grow a yard long, but they do grow about a foot and a half.
