[UrbanCropCircle] Staggered peas & beans

[Julianne Jaz]

Hi Michael,
How about considering bush beans instead of pole beans (like a scarlet
runner), and then perhaps also putting in some nasturtiums that could either
climb or fill in at the ground level?  Now that the weather seems to have
turned, with any luck the peas should effect a turnaround in their demeanor
and start springing up.

Good luck!
Julianne

-- 
Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be
new. But those values upon which our success depends - hard work and
honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and
patriotism - these things are old. These things are true. They have been the
quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a
return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of
responsibility - a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have
duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not
grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there
is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than
giving our all to a difficult task.

This is the price and the promise of citizenship.

Barack Obama,
44th President, United States
Inauguration Speech
