Wood Pallet Garden – Planting Dried Beans

Lucy the garden dog and I worked in the wood pallet garden yesterday harvesting lettuce and re-planting the pallets with some cool seeds. The weather here in the Pacific Northwest has been gorgeous lately and I’m having a hard time staying inside. Especially with Lucy, she want’s to go outside all the time now and check the gardens or sun herself on the back lawn.

What a life that dog has. What a life.

We harvested the last of the Freckles romaine lettuce {it tastes just the same as regular romaine but looks cooler}and I’ll definitely be planting it again in the fall. We also harvested the rest of the endive as well.

After harvesting the lettuces, we were left with 2 naked wood pallets, so we went ahead and planted them with bush beans. Tiger’s Eye  and Calypso Beans {or Orca Beans}. How cool are these beans going to look in some homemade soups this winter? Pretty stinkin’ cool if you ask me!

As far as the other wood pallet crops go, the romaine looks like it might be ready to start harvesting next week.

The celery is coming along nicely too.

And I think we have about another week left before the spinach will need to be pulled.

Not bad for a couple of wood pallets a little soil and some seeds. Gardening is awesome, no matter what methods you use. Have a great weekend everyone.
