Backyard Beans!

Just 3 months after growing beans from seed, the vines are taller than the fence, with beautiful beans just waiting to be picked!  I've enjoyed them on a salad... so fresh and delicious!  And even better... they came from my backyard!!

Growing beans... from seed!

Pole beans are some of the first plants I have ever (successfully) grown from seed- organic, of course... and they are taking off! Many previous attempts with starting plants from seed did not go as planned. However, I told myself... that 2010 was going to be the year my garden actually thrives!  :) They have already climbed to the top of the bamboo poles... tomorrow I am going to make a trellis for them by tying several bamboo poles together.
