It's finally bean harvest time! This was my second harvest of the week. the first, the day before yesterday, was a little smaller.
I've noticed that most veggie gardeners have a favorite green bean variety, and that's definitely true for me too. I *love* Tenderette bush beans. They're one of the few ever-bearing bush varieties. They're also heavy producers, and once they start, they keep you up to your eyeballs in green beans all summer.
Last year I decided to try pole beans for the first time (Kentucky Wonder), and by this date last year I still had no beans. I did end up with some good harvests a little later in the season, but not as good as the years I'd planted my precious bush beans. Plus pole beans require trellises. and I remember spending a long time building teepees last spring.
So there you have it. If you're thinking of adding green beans to your garden next year, I highly recommend Tenderette!
Oh thanks for the recommendation! I def. want to add green beans to the garden next year and I would love to have something that is a heavy producer. We are a family of six and everyone likes green beans. :)
