  1. Forgetting runner/pole beans? 😬 Don't! Pick 'em young & tender, around 6-8 inches, before they get stringy. Bigger isn't always better! #GardeningTips #RunnerBeans

  2. We got the new trellis materials in place today. We're using a jute netting with 6 inch square openings tied to the old metal frame with garden twine. Now we'll be ready to plant the beans when the soil warms up some more. BeetBear says "Don't talk to me about jute netting ever again..."

  3. The old plastic netting on the bean trellis has finally gotten too damaged to be of use anymore so we are making plans to replace the netting this year. Got about 7 or 8 years out of the old netting.

  4. Trenches give Runner/Pole beans their roots space & access to nutrients, as they are notoriously hungry! Fill a trench in the off season with veg peelings, manure & cover with soil. By spring, it'll be a nutrient-rich bed for your beans. #gardening #runnerbeans #growyourown #planning #allotment

  5. The harvest from the garden today. The first green-flesh honeydew (5 lbs. / 2.3 kg) was picked and it tastes good. It's sort of a watermelon textured hollow melon. I can't remember if they were this way last year. Picked another watermelon (10 lbs / 4.5 kg), more cantaloupes, 2 pails of tomatoes, a big handful of beans, 6 crookneck squash, and 2 too big zucchini.

  6. The last two days of garden harvest. I looked at the small melon bed today and found a ripe melon, then another, and another, and more... Picked all the fully red Marconi sweet peppers and all the paste tomatoes I could find that were ripe.

  7. Some 'early' morning photos of the garden getting some sun from the East, and a photo showing the summer squash plants that are more than 3 feet tall now not counting the raised bed, and a 'bush' acorn squash that has lots of vines going in all directions.

  8. Planted the 6 scarlet runner beans started indoors 12 days ago. They were growing too fast to wait any longer. Lots of roots.

  9. Today's harvest from the garden, minus any zucchini because I didn't spend much time looking. Picked the largest eggplants and a ones that were on a dying stalk, 2 cucumbers, 2 yellow crooknecks, and 580 grams / 20 ounces of runner beans.

  10. Some general garden goings-on. The orange cherry tomatoes are abundant but the plant not so much. The potatoes are starting to bloom. The determinate tomatoes are a hedge. There are hollyhocks everywhere and the runner beans are surviving the heat.

  11. Some of the runner beans have made it to the top of the trellis and are reaching for the sky. This is about 7 feet high, or 2 meters.

  12. Picked the orange Flamme tomato today and a few orange cherry. Runner beans are blooming and not looking pale now that it's warmed up. Some of the new earliglow strawberries have blossoms, and there were some bees in the garden.

    Found a pair of squash bugs on an acorn squash plant too.

  13. 5 pairs of runner beans planted and the first harvest of the year, a volunteer radish that was in the dirt pile. A spicy salad.

  14. Picked most of the dry-ish scarlet runner beans I could find. Weather forecast looks like the rest might get a chance to mature some more before any chance of frost in a couple of weeks, and get dry beans from those. I've never cooked 'fresh' whole beans other than what's in the too big for green bean ones somtimes, might try that since there are so many.

  15. 18 #October and #RunnerBeans are still ripening on the plant. I am still harvesting #tomatoes, the chard is looking nice and I have a handful of small courgettes on the plants. Herbs and parsley are still going. Hardy broad beans are in the ground for an early harvest next year.

  16. Excess runner beans? Don’t worry, use them!

    1️⃣ Blanch & Freeze: Slice, blanch for 2 mins, then freeze. Perfect for winter stews & curries.
    2️⃣ Make Chutney: A classic way to preserve them. Goes great with cheese!
    3️⃣ Pickle them: Create a tangy, spicy pickle to enjoy for months.

  17. Harvest for August 3rd and 4th.

    Found a big crookneck squash today, fewer beans, a few zucchini, a couple of cucumbers, and some tomatoes.

  18. Beans have slowed down, not many got pollinated when it was hot last week. Same for the squash and zucchini and I haven't been hand pollinating them for a week or so. A couple of orange Flamme tomatoes.

  19. No zucchini today!

    4 sweet peppers that were small but turning red, 4 campari and 4 orange flamme tomatoes, 2 cucumbers, a small handful of beans, and all the jalapenos that were getting a rough skin including one little red one.

  20. There's lots of blooming and bees going on in the yellow squash, the tomatoes and tomatillo are taller than me, and the cucumber bed has no more beets.

    The big leafy 'beets' had a big white root. Not sure what it is, maybe chard?

  24. Tomato, basil, and tomatillo update. It's all growing. ;) I've pruned some of the lower parts of some tomatoes but I'm leaving them kind of bushy on the trellis. Lots of flowers on the tomatillo. Lots and lots of basil which I've been letting flower then dead heading it. There are runner beans on both posts in the raised bed and they've made it to the top of the trellis.
