How time flies

I have been watching the beans grow--almost literally. Noticeable growth has occurred every time I am out there. They now have those lovely purpley-pink blossoms that indicate beans-to-be are immanent. I planted 3 six foot rows. The third was an afterthought, one that will provide a second flush a couple of weeks after the first two rows have dwindled in production.
The tomatoes seem woefully behind schedule. I guess they'll grow as much as they need to. I've had them in the ground for a while now, but they still seem rather small compared to a few others I've seen. Of course, I think that may be that I grew my own from seeds and the others were purchased already well on their way from greenhouses. Does that somehow make my tomatoes more righteous? Probably not, but I can dream!
