I’m so glad your fig is in recovery mode!

My green beans are up a couple of inches—43 here last night but I don’t think it hurt them. Potatoes look great—I was sure they had drowned. Got the cukes and squash and watermelons and canteloupes and hot peppers planted.

What kind of green beans are you growing?

I love fresh field peas. They are small, a little greenish/purplish/brownish pea. My Aunt always cooked them for the big family gatherings,they were really tasty with corn bread. I wish I knew where she got them. No way I can grow the quantity I would need.

43 isn’t cold enough to freeze green beans! I plant about 165 plants a year in Colorado Springs, and have even been down to 32 and didn’t kill ‘em.
