Beans!

Here we go. Green bean season! It's been a long, cool, wet spring. The beans are lush. Expecting good yields.

Picked 5 pounds of Jade bush beans yesterday. Half went into the freezer. The other half went onto the dinner table.

The first picking of the pole beans ... always so perfect! The beans are big, well-formed, hanging in bunches, no bug damage. Rattlesnake variety is pictured here.

Picked my first little batch of pole beans this morning. Lots more to come! Rattlesnake on the left, Garden of Eden Italian flat beans on the right. The golden sunshine and the cool indoors sure make different lighting in these pics!
