The Three-Foot Long Green Bean

Cindy was off visiting family members in the Midwest for a couple of weeks, which left me nominally in charge of the garden.  She picked all the ripe tomatoes and green beans before she left, but I told her  there was no way I could keep up with the beans.

The problem with green beans is that if you don't keep picking them, the beans that are already on keep growing, but the plants slow down production and may stop producing altogether.  I told her she would come back and find they had grown so much they were three feet long.

I did pick some of the  beans and some friends came over and helped out, but there are probably some out there by now that are pretty big.

Maybe even one that's three feet long.
