The weather was absolutely perfect this weekend. I did a tonne on Monday too, but didn't take many photos.

It's hard to believe so many amazing things are in one place. It must be so wonderful to be around the things you've planted and the things that joined all by themselves. It really is inspiring.

If you don't mind, could you share more about the purple beans? They aren't something I'm familiar with at all. What is it about them that you like? I'm assuming they're for eating and not decorating or something? Is it "just another bean" or is there some flavor or nutritional difference?

(Sorry I'm so nosey)

edit I'm smoking bees about it.

So that's what they are doing in there...

The purple beans are called purple peacock and they are just pretty. They don't taste great really, but they are good enough and are PROLIFIC with basically no pests or disease pressures that I have noticed so far. They taste a little like bleach tbh if you don't cook them fully, and you have to cook them separate from the rest of your food or they will take it all taste weird. They also turn green when cooked. They do not do well canned, or frozen.

I know I am selling them very well right now but I have grown them for three years and I intend to continue!

Thanks for all the great information!

That does sound like a bit of a hard sell but hardy/resistant plants are great for times when things go off the rails in other areas of the garden imo. Definitely something to think about...

Thank you for sharing!
