I am killing some time in garden, waiting for the temps to fall just a bit before putting in some of our fall/winter crops. This bed holds broccoli in back (“this is just a test…”), buck wheat in the middle and a trio mix of bush beans in front.
The trio beans were given to us by our friend Carol (HEY CAROL!!!) a little over a year ago. Last year they didn’t germinate, but this year they are doing just fine, both in this bed and in the bed with the failed echinacea. These beans were put in this bed on June 25th after I pulled the first round of spinach and consist of Blue Lake 274, Cherokee Wax and Purple Queen Beans.
