New This Week: June Week 4

It's all about the beans! This week marked the first harvest of beans from the garden. Altogether I managed to harvest just over a pound of beans from the bush beans. This was just from the first planting which was about 5 square feet of beans. As you can see from the photo, a pound of beans is actually quite a few! We took a few over to Jo last night. We ate some of them fresh from the garden and I put the rest of them in with some summer squash tonight to make pasta primavera. Yum! It looks like this crop will still have about three more harvests left. The bush beans in the other bed are just now beginning to set beans, so they should be ready in another week or too. I've also spotted a few baby beans on the purple pole beans. Can't wait to try those!
