We never got many green beans this year, from that late-blooming beanstalk outside our door; the blossoms just appeared too late, and we wanted to end the garden and put Mr. K's shelter over there near the outlet for the heated cat bed.
My brother said, "Next year, I'm going back to bush beans."
sounds like a good plan! :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband prefers bush beans too. The crop is reliable and the beans are usually sweet and tender.
ReplyDeleteA sensible man. :)
DeleteWe've dabbled in both and now have firmly landed in the bush bean camp as well. I do like watching pole beans twine up a trellis, but in the end the bush beans are just easier and more productive. And the garden is still lovely to watch unfold none the less.
DeleteI have made the same resolution myself - bush beans. I can't risk perching on whatever to pick my pole beans anymore. Also, I could save the hour or more I always take to string them up.
