That is quite a list of good, healthy vegetables. Good to know about the green beans and their cold tolerance. My bean plants are looking super great and have beans in all stages of development. I can hardly wait for them to mature so I can eat them straight from the plant!

I am growing ‘Saychelles’ green pole bean and they have some small beans on - I should have beans by now, but I got them in late.

‘Good Mother Stollard’ is the drying pole bean I’m growing and they are blooming like mad.

I’m tucking in ‘Velour’ purple bush-type, wherever I have space as other spring things peter out.

Beans. They really are an awesome ‘filler’ veggie and they’re not fussy in the least. :)

Today I’m getting the Purple Broccoli started and some lettuces, spinach, arugula and green onions. I moved my grow rack from the pantry/laundry to my office and the difference has been like night and day. It’s a lot cooler in the pantry/laundry and I’m really seeing a difference in faster germination where the rack is now.

Tomatoes are slow in ripening, so whatever I’m not eating fresh I’m chopping and freezing now for later use in Salsa and V-8 Juice. :)
