various legumes

difficult to misidentify a bean when you see it and the bush beans i planted in the back yard about as week ago have broken surface ( no sign of the ones i planted on campus just yet )...i will plant a few more in a couple of weeks and do so until i run out of seed...

zucchini has appeared as well...i planted them in profusion and if they all prosper there may be an inundation of fquash...there will also be the three sisters in my yard...

because there is maize up and progressing along with the beans and squash...they are not planted together...there will be no beans vining on the maize or squash spreading across the corn hills...they are all there none the less...

the "wild and weedy" maize ancestor teocintli is represented by two varieties...just for fun...

if the temperature stays warm enough to move the leaf cutters towards hatching they will find the alfalfa just coming into bloom...that would be an indication of symbiosis, no? thinking so...

and i do have a pollinator report...flower flies...

and solitary bees are working the blooms on the native berries to help feed the birds..small pollinators do a lot of work out there and are easily as important as the social bees... and i saw my first social bee ( finally ) of the season yesterday on the winter vetch...i imagine i will find them on the bean blossoms later in the season...they like legumes.
