A small
Harvest Monday today, just a basket of tomatoes and a big plate of dry beans. Looks like some cucumbers and snap beans will be ready early in the week though. There are a few Anaheim chilies just about ready as well, maybe I'll makes some green chili sauce this week.
Here are the dry beans shelled. This is the largest harvest of them so far this season. I have been getting a shallow bowl but this week I have a large dinner plate of them. Next week there should be about the same amount. The red ones are True Red Cranberry grown from seed shared by
Kath. The other ones are Boriotto grown from seed shared by
Gary. Both are pole beans and are alot more produce then the dry bush beans.

Your Boriotto ones look like my Ottawa Cranberry. I love the color of the True Red Cranberry. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteAw man....you have dried beans, too. They sure do look beautiful - especially the red ones!
ReplyDeleteWow, the color of the True Red Cranberry is amazing indeed ! Won't be getting many shelling beans this season. The Ottawa Cranberry Daphne sent me didn't do very well in trugs with the corn. I'm letting Dragon Tongue mature for shelling.
ReplyDeleteThat True Red Cranberry is a beautiful bean. I have a big patch of dark red kidney beans but I am getting worried about whether they will mature and dry down before the fall rains arrive. The little garden trug full of different types of tomatoes makes a great garden harvest photo. :D
ReplyDeleteNice harvest no matter the size and the colors are quite beautiful
ReplyDeleteSeeing all these dried beans is inspiring me to give them a try, and those are gorgious tomatoes.

True Red Cranberry really are gorgeous and I think you do get a bigger haul per square yard from the pole beans.
ReplyDeleteYour Vermont Cranberry are just beginning to dry out - they are such a pretty pink.
Those Boriotto which look like Daphne's Ottawa Cranberry look like my Speckled Bay. Humph.
ReplyDeleteThe harvest may be small, but it's a quality one!
ReplyDeleteNice harvest. I'll have to try pole dried beans next year. My black beans are bush beans and take up lots of space. Like Miss M I'm letting my dragon tongue size up for shelling too.
ReplyDeleteThose cranberry beans are amazingly close to the true cranberry color. I don't know why that impresses me so much, but it does. Your tomato basket looks delicious, with all those different varieties of tomatoes. I had to go to the store to get some tomatoes this weekend, so I'm very envious of your beautiful tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteYou and Daphne have beautiful beans, and mine are still in their big, fat, green/purple pods. I do hope mine mature and dry soon, I may have to pull the vines and hang them in the shed!
ReplyDeleteWhat a colorful harvest! Looking at your plate of beans is tempting me to go heat up a bowl of bean and veggie soup I have hanging out in the fridge. Yum!
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned a green chili sauce; what would you use that for?
Beautiful dry beans! I'll have to try growing some next year! I've been envious of all the dry bean harvests I've seen. They're beautiful!!
ReplyDeletegreat photos... :)
ReplyDeleteWow, look at all those yummy beans ready for cooking! The tomatoes look so luscious as well. Our maters flopped this year as did a lot of things with this super hot season...
ReplyDeleteI think they're called "Borlotto" and not "Boriotto".
ReplyDeleteBye bye

Dan, nice looking beans : ) What do you use them for mainly?...soup or chili would be great I bet.
