It was a small harvest but I always love the first harvest of the season! This was picked last night. 2 types of green beans, 3 squash, and 2 sungold cherry tomatoes! My canner will be busy tonight for the green beans  I grew Contender beans and then pinto beans and harvested the pintos as green beans. they were sure prolific and a bit easier to harvest also. the pod is flatter. I can't wait to taste them! Has anyone ever grown pintos for green beans before? If so, how did you like it?  ![]() |

I've grown pintos for green beans and they were great. In fact, all the beans I grew were different kinds of beans that were good dried and I just planted a whole bunch extra to use as green beans.

You're picking beans and I have frost warnings in the forecast. Gardening is a crapshoot this time of year but the fishing is always good!

I love looking at what everyone else is growing/harvesting. Then I look to see where they live- and compare to what I'm doing over here. Sometimes it makes me think I need to pack it all up and relocate...
My bush beans are about 5 inches tall- I've got Provider planted. I need to get my pole beans going, but they keep getting pushed down on my list. And then I look at your picture and am reminded that I can't ever pick them if I don't get them planted. So after this cup of coffee I'm heading out there. Thanks for the push.

I planted my beans last week..... Do the pintos have strings? Yes, i noticed last night while snapping them and getting them ready to can that the pintos had more string than my Contender and they were a bit more work to snap. Those beans ended up giving me 23 quarts and one 7 quart crockpot full of beans that we will be eating on today. I would love to try pole beans and Provider beans, i haven't done either and can't wait to expand! |
