Happy Monday, Gardener!
BRING ON THE BEANS!
Harvesting beans encourages growth, so
If you want more beans, pick more beans!
As with many plants, removing the “fruit” or expended flower encourages more production. So pick beans daily and you’ll have more to harvest over time.
BEANS…. GOLD, GREEN and PURPLE!
We are growing several varieties of pole beans (‘Carninat’ and ‘Marie’s Gold Vining’ ) and a selection of bush beans (Purple Teepee, Black Coco, and Romano Purpiat). All but the late-planted Carminat are producing nicely.
THE BEAN TEEPEE VERDICT IS IN:
The purple and gold (yellow) colored beans are easier to harvest because they’re easier to spot amidst the green foliage. Also, we’ve found that growing on a teepee frame makes it easier to see and pick the beans.
For more details on beans and how we’re growing them, see this article.
Happy Harvests!
