just off crispy after having cut them into lengths of about 4 inches. Then drained and cooled them and bundled into the size I wanted, wrapped in bacon just in the middle and then fried in a non stick pan till the bacon was crispy all round....no dressng (apart from wee tomatoes also from the garden)I had in the oven that I cored and stuffed a little thyme into with some evoo...this and the beans were so good. I am a convert to these snake beans.

I seem to have two kinds of beans as one lot are pale green and the other are quite dark green. They taste the same though and so very much nicer than any I've seen in the Asian stores.

Anyone interested in gardening should try to grow these if they haven't already done so, they are so rewarding and produce almost overnight after they start 'beaning', they are that prolific.

 
Oh YUM! You're making me crazy, Joanie, with your own personal backyard produce store...and here...

we received 13 cm of snow yesterday! Maybe I can make you a bit jealous by describing to you how incredibly light and fluffy it was, as it gently floated to the ground and, at night, how it sparkled under the lights like a living Christmas card... Is it working??? Darn it - I thought not ;o)

Thanks for the info on the long beans. I've never tried them and will have to do so. I'll have to check if they can be grown in our climate...and no, I don't mean in the snow! lol

Take care.

 
Do you have names for the beans? some of us would like to see if we can find those seeds!

You did make us all swoon after fresh beans....

 
I did look up on the net about these beans. The ones I planted this time are.......

""Burpee" Asian Vegetable Asparagus Bean...Yardlong Pole Bean.."
This is not quite the same as the last lot I grew which, if left too long on the plant made a big kidney shaped brown bean seed. Nor is it the same as another plant growing along side and this one is a dark green skin with a wee black bean inside, not sure where I got the seeds.......They, the beans, are growing in length so quickly and the weather is getting quite warm.
The arugula is begining to be quite strongly peppery, it gets like that as the weather warms up. I love it anyway.

Any help in stopping the white wiggly lines from some bug (is it leafminer) on the tomato leaves, I've tried Malation and Seven but am loth to use such strong spray...also lots of leaf curl and spider looking things on the citrus leaves as well as aphids...any suggestions to stop these critters that is Not strong poision.

Hugs

Joanie, B.t., an organic bacterial culture, might take care of the leaf miners

but you'll need it for sure for tomato worms. Here it's sold as "Caterpillar Killer," but it's the initials B.t. that you should look for. Insecticidal soap will help with the aphids.
