Green Bean Harvest


Here's my green bean harvest for the year. Um, not the cans. Just the bean on the table. The single, solitary, lonely bean. The canned beans are local Colorado beans which I had to buy after I finally admitted to myself that ours just weren't going to happen.

We planted late this year since we were in Ethiopia in the spring. Then some sort of critter got through Mr. Greenhab's fancy rigged chicken wire fence and ate most of our plants. We tried to replant, but it seems that the forces of nature are just against us. At least we've supported a local farmer, and we'll still have "real" green beans this winter (as opposed to store canned). I think I'll be reading some gardening books this winter.

Boohoo! That's like our summer squash harvest except that I think I've managed to get three off the plant. Ah well, there's always next year.
