Had a wonderful discovery last nite working in the garden......with bone dry ground and seeing hardly any honey bees, I had been concerned that we would not have any beans this year. The plants are still growing and beautiful and covered with flowers...only because the soil is so good. But, last nite , low and behold I saw a bean. Upon closer inspection, another here and there and one plant that had several 3 inch beans already!!!
Tonight, instead of going to the dance..I will be harvesting for the first time this year. This year's experiments with the crop are about to begin. I have a dehydrator & my own champion juicer now to work with.
My friend came over to have the honor of "picking the first bean " . We took pictures. Someday perhaps there will be someone who can put pictures on neurotalk for me.
For now, we are rejoicing. "Happy Bean Day to You" ! Perhaps it will be an annual event at the farm. Wish you all could visit sometime.
