A Plot Revealed

Bean Flowers

I knew it was a plot to get me to eat more vegetables, and so far, it's working to perfection.

The Sugar Snap Peas and Oregon Giants are long gone, the tomatoes and zucchini are finally slowing down to a trickle and the Butternut Squash aren't quite ready yet, but now the beans are on the rampage.  

Cindy planted both Green and Violet Beans again this year and rigged up two sets of long poles, with another long pole between them so that the bean vines could have someplace to go.  It's kind of fun to watch the tendrils snaking out, up and over the poles, searching for the next place to go.

Bean Vines Exploring The World

She just brought in a heaping handful of green and violet beans, fresh off the vines.  We had some of the green beans for dinner Sunday and they were wonderful; tender, juicy and sweet.


So if this is a plot to get me to eat vegetables, these green and violet beans really help it along.
