Three Kinds of Beans

Green, purple and rattlesnake beans

Heirloom rattlesnake beans have purple markings making them rather exotic looking.

My rattlesnake beans have started producing.  I was so excited this morning to see them in ready-to-pick size.  I love growing pole beans and I especially like when the flowers add interest as well as the beans they produce.  It's just a little added fun to getting edibles from the garden.

And now I am drowning in green beans.  I have three quarts of them.  I've decided to freeze some but prefer to share the excess with friends.  I'm dropping off a goody bag of beans, cukes and tomatoes to a friend today.

The Water Cooler

Here's an interesting site from California. It is called The Water Cooler and is California's first official water blog. One of the sections is called Waterlogged--get soaked in water knowledge.

It's worth a visit to get your green look on water usage!
