Kentucky Wonder Beans, Dragon Tounge Beans, Yellow Wax Beans & Bacon...Is there anything better?

This growing season has been a great one for beans. We are picking beans everyday. I have been mixing the beans and coming up with differnt recipes for eating.

These are Dragon Tounge beans! This is the first time I have grown them and they are so delicous! I will be growing them again!

Here I have Dragon Tounge, Kentucky Wonder and Yellow Wax Beans all mixed together to make my favorite side dish.

We call this dish Bacon and Green Beans!

1 pound of Beans Cut into 1 inch pieces

4 strips of Bacon chopped up

1/4 cup of chopped Red Onion

Throw them in your pot and cover with water.

1 tablespoon cracked Black Pepper

I boil for about 5 to 7  minutes keeping some crunch to the beans.

Im hoping to have enough to make Dilly Beans. But, the way we keep eating them it may not happen.

How do you cook your green beans?

What kind of beans are you growing?

Happy Gardening my Friends!!!

Beans in the Garden get a dose of Rabbit Poo!

Gardening is in full bloom in my vegtable garden. So many things to do in the past couple of weeks and so much more in the weeks to come. Here in Cali we have had weather that has been acting like a 2 year old, very unpredictable! I have been dreaming of all the veggies that will soon be on my plate!

Beans of many kinds are one of them!

I have planted many types!

Cow Peas (Black Eyed Peas)

Kentucky Wonder ( Green Beans)

Lim Beans (Butter Beans)

Pole Beans (yellow, purple & green)

Asparugas Beans (Long Beans)

Dragon Tounge (New to me, I have never grown)

That should get us through the summer and some winter months!

Here is how I start my beans. I did start almost all of them indoors under grow lights!

I give my plants a good dose of  Rabbit Poo!

I keep all my Rabbit Poo in a container and as I need it, I shovel a bowl full! I use the same bowl and spoon for my Rabbit Poo!

I dig my trenches for the Bean starts and the add some Poo all along the trench!

I then lay some Organic Compost in the trench and add the Bean starts! All my beans are in a row!

I sectioned my beans along my homemade twig fence. In hopes the beans will be using the fence as thier trellis. I also marked all my Beans with Tounge Depressors so I would know what Beans, were going where.

In a couple weeks I will direct sow more beans to have a continous crop!

Happy Gardening!!!
