Here goes a quick
harvest monday post, pickings are still pretty slim but exciting non-the-less.
This is the exciting part, the first beans of the season. Just a handful but enough for two to enjoy. In my hand I have dragon tongue beans and assorted shelling beans. I'm guessing the shelling beans are good as green beans at onset?
This is the biggest pea harvest so far this season. There is a bit of everything in the basket, oregon sugar snow, cascadia snap, victorian climbing & opal creek golden snap. The heat is starting to set in now so I may not be harvesting many more peas. Probably one more picking before they go starchy & tough.

Nice Beans! I will have to try those Dragon Tounge ones next year.
ReplyDeleteYour beans look yummy. My peas are slowing down too due to the heat.
ReplyDeleteOh beans! I have some of my Jacob's Cattle dry beans blooming but they are dried beans so won't be picked for ages. The only snap bean I'm growing is Kentucky Wonder which is a pole bean so later. I'm impatiently waiting.
ReplyDeleteMan...I can't believe you've got beans already! They look really good...
ReplyDeleteWonderful beans Dan! Yes, you can eat drying beans as fresh but it always seems a shame. I grow some varieties for fresh and some for shelly or dried use.
ReplyDeleteYou have beans already? I have bean plants. This year we have risen in the zones, I swear. So many things are ahead of schedule.
ReplyDeleteYou've already got beans? Good for you! And those peas look yummy.
ReplyDeleteBeans already, I'm jealous, my plants are barely starting to climb their trellises. And my peas are already done fer. Nice harvest!
ReplyDeleteWow, beans and peas! My beans are just just sprouting. I am growing Dragon Tongue for the first time this year. I'm also experimenting with black beans.
ReplyDeleteYour beans are doing great! Mine have barely started to grow....too much cold and wet weather :( I may have to try those root trainers next year...sounds like that gave you a great start...
ReplyDeleteHow did you get dragon's tongue beans already??? You must have started them super early. They look beautiful. I can't wait to harvest some of my own.
ReplyDeleteI just love that little basket garden trug of yours! It is so photogenic. The produce in it looks great too! ;D
ReplyDeleteThe roottrainers sure gave you a head start on the bean harvest.
Wow, what a great bean and pea harvest! Our beans are just starting to grow right now.
ReplyDeleteThats a great harvest! All the different varieties! Make sure to let us know how the Dragon Tounge ones are!
ReplyDeleteGidday Dan! Just got back from your neck of the woods ... love that Timmies Ice Cap ... but I must say, your weather has been awesome - puts MA to shame!!! Your produce is further ahead ... and looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy peas are done for the season now too. Wish I had a cute little pea basket like you!
