The Great Bean Experiment--Part VI

          Just a week or so has passed since the last report, and so much has already changed in my garden. The Royal Burgundy snap bean plants are even taller.

          They have purple blossoms all over them.

          The Northeaster pole beans have climbed all the way to the top of their trellis

          Now they are doubling back down again, looking for support. I love how they twirl around each other.

          The Blue Lake Beans in front of the wooden trellis have white blossoms. The black-eyes in front of the wire cages are still growing right along.

          The Red Noodle yard-long beans are growing slowly, but steadily up the inside of the wire cages. They seem to be the late bloomers of the bunch.

 

          All in all, everything looks healthy and right on time. We do not usually get a frost or bad weather until November 1st. If there are beans, they should be harvested by then.
