beans!

the bean plants in the bean and cucumber wall are producing...but no one seems to be harvesting...why i wonder? admittedly the beans in the wall are shrouded by foliage but they're easy enough to find...and the beans on the maize are in the open...no mistaking that...two things at work here...if you don't harvest the beans the plants stop producing...to keep them going you have to pick them..do that and they will produce until the first hard frost...second, when they get too big the beans become "woody" and a chore to eat...get them young a sit were...these are really good beans folks...i picked some of the larger ones, boiled them, and tossed them in some butter and that was a fine dinner...this is no time to be shy...step up...say what you want...take what you may need...there will be more beans if you do.
