Green Bean Season

Bean Plants Reach For The Sky
Green bean season is upon us and we're up to our kneecaps in green beans.  The bean plants are about as tall as the proverbial elephant's eye by now.

In fact, one of the plants got so ambitious that it sent vining tendrils out and latched onto one of the overhanging branches of the Lemonade Berry Tree.  The problem with that is that it created a ready-made bridge for varmints right up over Cindy's carefully constructed anti-varmint panels.  In fact, it was a veritable rat highway to the green beans.

Fortunately, we found it before the varmints did and a couple of snips with the long-handled loppers took care of the problem.

So now we have fresh green beans.  Lots of green beans.  When we went out to dinner the other night, the special vegetable was:  green beans.

Green Beans!
