Most of us run in the same blog circles and I know you've found me rather redundant all summer in my posts on other's blogs saying, "Oh, I wish my green beans were as nice," or "My green beans just never look that straight!" Well, my friends....I've won the green bean lottery....
Look at the straight beans!!!! Now I'm seriously wondering if all of the thin, woppy beans I got all summer was because of the unrelenting heat as these beans are planted in the same place and with the same packet of seeds that the terrible performing ones from the summer were. Man, am I glad I got some good beans for once and we've still got a good time to go before the frost. So, there you have it folks...I think beans are going to be a fall crop for me!
The bush beans in the side yard are teeming with flowers, themselves, so I know I'll get more in before it's too late. What a relief. It makes the dull, no harvest months of July and August almost bearable again.
So the beans are straight and it's now time to get your hunt on! Bow season has opened in Georgia and the firearms season is only a week or two away, so we added a new camouflage key chain to our selection. It's not centered in the picture, but that's because to save costs, we make each one to order and this one isn't sewn down. We're already running a free shipping offer in October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but Keychains for a cause is also happy to say that we're donating breast cancer awareness fobs to every teacher in our school cluster (our elem, middle and high school) who has battled or is battling breast cancer. It's a staggering number of teachers and we're so glad to support them in their fight for a cure.
The morning comes early. Sweet hunting for straight green bean dreams!
YAY! So happy your beans are growing as you wish, enjoy the crop!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on those great looking beans! I agree, it was the heat this year- it was TERRIBLE!
ReplyDeleteI think it was a bad summer for string beans all around. Our plants stopped producing because of the heat, and then when the weather cooled, we've been getting beans like crazy.
ReplyDeleteNice beans. I love when a crop finally produces for me. I still remember when I finally got good carrots for the first time after years of not getting any.
ReplyDeleteYAY for green beans! I think I have some too, but they are hiding under my morning glory vines.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking beans! M
