A bit of gardening, a bit of memories, and a bit of life. I started an on-line garden journal for myself, but I hope it also gives something to others who read it. Thank you for all your kind encouragement.

Try these beans
I have been so impressed by one of my varieties of bush beans that I have to share it now so you can all give it a try. I got them from Pine Tree Garden Seeds. They were in the French vegetables selections. Maxibel Haricot Vert. They are the bean on the right. Very slender, tender and no strings attached! I have some bean beetle damage in the garden (I haven't sprayed because they haven't eaten much). This variety in particular has sustained some leaf damage but the beans themselves have remained untouched by the beetles. It may be that the other variety on the left, Slenderette, has been more to their liking. It may also be that the praying mantis have moved in and stopped them in their tracks. All the same they are the best beans I have grown so far, and I have grown a lot of different beans. The Royal Burgundy beans are also a favorite as they are so easy to find and pick as well as being tasty. All varieties were purchased from Pine Tree this spring.
