My Bush beans have pushed forward a set of flowers that have bloomed and have started to form into small beans. It is an exciting time to see these guys come in full form. They sustained some damage from the hail storm but nonetheless, they have made a full recovery. I am impressed with the beans because all of the beans that I am growing are strong. My wife is almost scared because they just burst from the ground with full force demanding respect. It also helps that you read the label on the seed packet to see if they are bush beans or vines. For almost a month I thought these guys were vine beans, but to my surprise they were bush beans. The bush variety have been very resistant to drought and disease. We look forward to our bean harvest this year. It looks pretty good.Wednesday, April 29, 2009

Last summer we grew four 8ft rows of beans...I ended up with 26 pints of beans in the freezer. I'm shooting for twice that this year..we eat them weekly! Wishing you guys the best....
Oh, I'm so jealous! I have nary a bean in sight.
Sue- WOW! This is the first bean plant besides the snap peas that we have grown. We couldn't believe how fresh the snap peas were and we can't wait to taste the beans. My wife is excited.
Christy- I just hope to be able to eat one. My wife is going nuts over eating fresh beans. I don't blame her. The backyard variety is soo tasty than store bought.
