Do not say no more

What a pleasant surprise when something you wanted but did not expect to have comes at you, effortlessly.Last night, as the work day in the garden was over and everyone was ready to head out to our dorms to cook, relax, and have a nice movie night with the rest of the summer resarch students, these green beans peas appeared out of nowhere…ready to be harvested. To say the truth, we’ve already had a good amount of these different kind of beans out of only a 10 foot square plot and we tought that after the second harvest we made, the season would be done for these beans as most of the plants started dwindeling and returning to the ground, closing the cycle of life and death. But like a gift before the final act, the bean plants decided to honor our efforts by feeding us some more before feeding the soil.

Peas and Beans!
