However I do know that we had several meals of wonderful beans and DH replanted hoping to get enough for me to put up. No dice. Our weather was winter late and summer late and now fall early. So it was determined that the second planting was lost. <br /><br />Ah but all is not lost. The goats and chickens feasted on the meager amount there was. The goats do enjoy all of the plant!goatldihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578007710288051720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677866446660565018.post-14364001056060527612011-10-15T16:23:12.850-07:002011-10-15T16:23:12.850-07:00We have a very tiny backyard, but we did grow a fe...We have a very tiny backyard, but we did grow a few pole bean plants back there this year--Kentucky Wonder, I think. They were okay, but I wouldn't say good. Very stringy, and we had to pick them still small or the beans inside were too big. <br /><br />Last year we used a part of my grandmother's backyard so we had more room, and we grew some bush beans called Tendergreen Improved. They were very good, large and yet tender and with an excellent flavour. <br /><br />I would think that those interesting purple beans would be useful to get little people to eat their vegetables, even if the flavour isn't the best. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677866446660565018.post-74955283674942774472011-10-15T06:11:20.760-07:002011-10-15T06:11:20.760-07:00In this area most either grow Blue Lake or Contend...In this area most either grow Blue Lake or Contender Beans. I have grown Jade Bush Beans for years and love the flavor and they grow so well. They were blooming clear up until I pulled them up and the taste is wonderful. They also can get rather large without being stringy or tough.the canned quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08161381921874364319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677866446660565018.post-90544941332938490182011-10-14T17:12:49.284-07:002011-10-14T17:12:49.284-07:00That was very interesting!

They have a garden here at the school, but we don't get a part of it and all the produce goes to the main kitchen. =( I would love a small plot to call my own.<br /><br />I don't know what type beans they planted...my children hated them last year...the strings gagged them. This year they are not so bad.<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
