I just planted two rows (each 83' long) of those Blue Lake beans, and today I picked a little over 4 gallons from one row, and the other row (from which I got 2 gallons Friday) already needs to be picked again. In addition to the beans, I picked, pulled, cut, or dug (and washed) 5 gallons each of yellow squash, zucchini, potatoes, turnips, and beets, then smaller quantities of carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, bell peppers, and blackberries for our daughters to take home for themselves and their in-laws.
Unfortunately, it looks like it's going to be a short growing season in central Texas again this year. Last year, we had the drought and a locust plague (grasshoppers) that would have made Moses proud, then we had a mild, warm winter and I'd heard the grasshoppers were going to be bad again, and sure enough millions of them have descended on us in the last few days./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif
