From the Veggie Garden Today

This long-running thread serves as a show-and-tell space where forum members regularly share photos and updates of their daily vegetable garden harvests. Participants track their yields from early spring through late fall while exchanging practical growing advice, culinary ideas, and observations on regional weather patterns.
  • Harvest Highlights: Members frequently showcase a wide variety of homegrown produce throughout the year, including tomatoes, yellow squash, potatoes, sweet corn, pole beans, pickling cucumbers, blackberries, and assorted brassicas.
  • Cultivation Methods: Core discussions focus on organic soil enrichment, drip irrigation setups, indeterminate tomato management, growing carrots in elevated containers to avoid pests, and utilizing cover crops like Sunn Hemp.
  • Flavor and Cooking: Contributors emphasize the superior taste of homegrown vegetables over store-bought alternatives, debate crop classification, exchange preparation methods for okra, and attempt international seed swaps.
  • Weather Impacts: Texas gardeners describe strategies for managing extreme summer heatwaves and prolonged drought, whereas UK members troubleshoot cold spring temperatures, delayed harvests, and relentless slug infestations.

As far as beans go, that one looks very unique! Do you cook them as-is like green beans, pod and all, or do you have to get the bean out of the pod and just eat the bean? I wonder if that's something we can get here in the states, I say just before I go do a search on Google. :ROFLMAO:

😁 When we were in the European Union we had to use Metres instead of Yards. Now we've told them to go away we've gone back to using inches, feet & yards. Not seen anyone measuring things in poles, rods & furlongs again yet though :(

Oh okay !! I never know what anyone means when they give the temps in celsius or refer to meters. I think of electric meters and try to figure out how to size them to get yards !! 😁

Furlongs I get because of racing horses in the past.

I think they're the best French bean you can get, Tetters doesn't though 😁

They don't sell them in the shops here but there's a bloke in Texas that's growing them this season :whistle:
 
:rolleyes: typical - he didn't even give you an answer to your question Mike. You can eat the whole thing - just like any other french bean. I ate that one raw - I like peas raw as well.
@Anniekay .... never mind our Annie, you can't help being American 😁 - actually, at the moment with one thing and another, I quite wish we lived in America too.
