The green beans turn purple when ready to pick. I got these so they would be easier to see and pick. Nobody told me the durned stems are purple too!
That's about how my luck would go.
My green beans are 2-3' tall maybe by August they'll be ready and 6 ' tall like the add said. Bush Lima beans have little pods. Sieva beans are finally growing. I counted 9 cherry tomatoes on one bush. Bout the size peas right now. Eating store tomato's is getting really old.
Next 3 days NWS is promising rain.:weee
And I got the grass cut this morning before work.:celebrate
No bird shot or swinging dirty socks.

Hey guys, hope you don't mind if I join.

I have a little 4x8 garden bed that currently has 8 Jelly Beans red cherry tomatoes, 2 San Marzano paste Tomatoes, 1 yellow cherry tomato (can't remember variety), and a slicing tomato (can't remember the variety), plus 8 each of Bell Peppers and Thai hot peppers, plus 1 sweet basil plant. I also have a pineapple mint in a pot next to the garden.

My plans for this fall, once the tomatoes and peppers are done are to overwinter the best pepper plants and then till the gardens and plant white clover as a cover crop / living mulch. I don't direct sow much anyway, so as long as my seedlings are more than 3-4" tall, they should be fine being planted in with the clover in the spring.

I will also be expanding the bed into a horseshoe shape with another 4x8 bad next to it with a 2x4' connecting piece. I will be putting peppers in one bed, tomatoes in the other and then doing salad mix in the middle bit. All of it is drip irrigated.
