ugh...my Asian long beans have done nothing....but the few Forex beans I am in love with and will plant only them from now on, preferably heirloom....

I was proud to raise almost all my tomatoes from seed but alas, I have serious blossom rot .....I've sprayed and I also mixed a slurry with lime and gave each plant a drink....I'm picking off the maters affected hoping that with these indeterminate plants I'll still get a good harvest...

leeks for the first time....my "accidental leaks", the ones I just basically thru in with the onions surprisingly grew nicely while my onions did terrible...I've got another batch that are looking good too...

I've got 5 half gallon fermented cukes on the counter and am drying a bunch of green peppers....

I too have planted some late sugar peas and bush beans and even a little more cukes.....why not?...sometimes Sept can be quite warm....

We are going to have oodles of those Chinese long beans. Fine by me, any that we vac sealed last year got eaten. They are flowering now and a few beans started forming. Probably 9 or 10 vines on the pole.

“...but the few Forex beans I am in love with...”

Fortex is a GREAT pole bean. But, I have abandoned Fortex and have changed to ‘Saychelles’ over the last three growing seasons.

Just a future option for you. :) I can ignore picking them for a week and they are not the least bit stringy or tough. :)
