Rattlesnake Pole Beans on the Menu Tonight!

The plants have quickly grown up their string trellis.  They're healthy ... not yet riddled with pesty beetle damage or ugly leaf spot.  And the foliage is relatively sparse.  The leaves are not so lush as to hide the gorgeous purple-streaked beans.  This means that the picking is easy!

The beans are coming on in bunches.  Andrew says I could let them mature a bit more, but I'm ready for that first mess of pole beans!
