Bush Bean, Not Poll Beans

And since I'm on the planting theme here, I planted about (30) of the below "Burpee Stringless Green Pod" beans yesterday (Memorial Day) afternoon -

I planted them in my tomato garden this year, up against the wire fencing I installed last year.  Hoping this will help deter the deer and rabbits from easy access to them.  Also, I believe tomatoes and beans are very good companion plants...

It's Green Bean Time!

I picked my first batch of green beans yesterday afternoon!

A nice haul, that I will be cooking up and enjoying in the next couple of days.

Even though I've added a second fence around my raised veggie beds, I'm having a time with the wild rabbits still making their way in and doing quite a number on both my carrots and beans.  Had they not done so much damaged there would have been twice, maybe even three times more beans to pick.

It's a frustrating battle but as long as I am able to harvest and enjoy some of my plantings it'll have to suffice.

"Kitchen King"

I picked my first batch of green beans yesterday!

They did great this season, as you can see and once I took care of the rabbit issue 😉.

There are oodles more coming from this planting AND I have a second planting I sowed about a month after this one, so I will have more beans that I can use or know what to do with.

I'm looking for some tasty and different recipes to try.

Fall Bush Beans!

First batch of our fall bush beans.

They were delicious!

Second, Late Season Planting

Zucchini and Summer squash has come to a seasons end.  I pulled the plants and chopped up nice and fine for the compost, turned the soil they were in and planted two rows; about 50 seeds, of Burpee Bush Blue Lake 274 bush beans.

There should be plenty of time to get a good batch or two before the cold weather sets in - 58 days to harvest.  Time will tell.

Our pole beans are ready and coming in like gang busters!

Emilie and I picked a mess, see below, with plenty more to come!
