I've had some requests for pictures so here we go.

This is a black bean plant as it emerges, I love the colors.
The leaves start off with this dark purple color but change to green after a few days.

I got a bumper crop of black eyed peas.
In addition to being one of the few things that can stand the
Central Florida heat in July/August, they are a great cover
crop that returns nutrients back to the soil.
Note to self: next summer plant this in more beds!

One end of the new bed I built this summer.
It's a 2'X20' bed that I filled with compost I made over the last year.
It's full of beans (sorry, I couldn't resist the pun). In the foreground
are the red kidney beans, the background has lima beans.

I wrote about the soil blocks a few weeks ago and here is a shot of them.
These are tomato plants that will go in a bed, hopefully this weekend.
Really loving the soil block concept and I plan to make about 20 more this
weekend for my daughter to plant her flower seeds.
