Last Saturday on July 28, I planted a couple of short rows. Tomorrow will be day 8, and we have an almost perfect stand, many with 2-3 leaves already. Can't wait to see how they do. We have mulched with pine straw and kept them watered. We didn't order seed, we just planted from a package of dry beans bought at Wal-Mart, this spring and again now.

I've just published a photo on my gardening blog with some beans I 'liberated' from Mount Vernon last fall. Someone has suggested that they might be Vermont Cranberry Beans. Could you have a look on the entry "saving seeds" and tell me what you think? I would love to have them identified. Perhaps you can help me?

In fact, I just canned a bunch that were (somehow) left over from last year. You're right, though, Kelly: you can succession plant those puppies for a while yet. I leave the last plantings on the vine to dry-harvest at my leisure, but I really love the fresh shell beans, too, like you're holding in your hand. Y-U-M. I ADORE cranberry beans!

Every time I plant greens for fall,they don't germinate because it's so bloody hot, but maybe this weekend I'll get a break... I need to do my fall planting this weekend.
