Wow that's a lotta nice beans. Cute kid too!

Thank you! he's a little sweetie pie, and a picky eater, but LOVES these! We blanched and froze them. GREAT snack. Just pop in microwave for a minute to thaw and eat. I THINK these were planted only 8 weeks ago!! Crazy good growth. These were from seeds we kept from last year, and every seed grew Smile

Zooie - that is a hugh pile. I tried to grow them again this year but something ate every single plant except one.

What variety did you grow.

Weel, I'm jealous, but I am still getting something!

Kathy, what are those yellow ones called? I have some from a friend that I'm trying to identify and they look just like that.

YOLOS...they're just soy beans from Home Depot. Welpp...that's what we planted last year, and then kept seeds. These were from 30 seeds from the ones we kept last year. They grew soooo well and produced heavily. Might try and get in another round!!

Kathy's lone purple bean! Looks good!

I would like to know variety too. We love edamame, particularly my daughter.

My first pepper!!! Why? the sweet banana gave me one, then got eaten by a critter...was gonna pull it, but left it accompanied by a random Bonnie from Walmart, the purple one. the banana has a flower on it, so we will see....

And tons of cherry tomatoes, OMG, that little solo plant has just been the bomb! Sungold I believe....heavy and reliable producer, and the maters are like sugar...it is Sunsugar.

What I HAVE to eat today are 2 halves of Brandywine that were invaded by bugs after cracking...cut the bad part off, composted it, and am eating the other halves.

And have some KY Wonder beans, and a couple patty pans. Not tonight! Have teriyaki chicken thighs on the grill with leftover cheesy potatoes and the Franken-brandywines!

A side dish of Pinkeye Purple Hull Pea fritters. Yum.

Fresh steamed New Zealand spinach (thanks Audrey). No sand, no dirt, no bugs! Next year I'm going to go crazy with it.

**donnainzone5** 9/2/2015, 10:37 pm

Steamed carrots and green beans with fresh dill; roast turkey breast with sage, lemon, wine, garlic, and onion sauce. (The sage is home-grown.)

We picked about 16 green, red, and orange bell peppers and will make stuffed peppers to freeze for eating this winter. We did about 50 earlier from the first pepper crop. The peppers are starting to fruit again after the weird hot/cool weather and hoping for plenty more fresh and enough for freezing. Hope all is well with all of you.

Goosegirl 9/3/2015, 7:05 am

Tomatoes! Made my first pasta sauce with my fresh tomatoes last night.

**Scorpio Rising** 9/3/2015, 7:48 am

Snackin on my last 4 carrots and my lone purple pepper, and some of the Sunsugar cherries. That is a good idea GG, pasta sauce. I have some tomatoes and some fresh basil to throw in. Yum!

Cajun Cappy 9/3/2015, 1:23 pm

We have a big butter nut squash in the oven and some yard long beans being smothered down with some onions a friend gave us and peppers and such we grew. The only thing we paid for is the pork steaks that were on sale .89/lb. That and fresh salad greens 4 of us will fiest for around 1$ each. None will know they are eating a cheap meal but me. Very Happy

**Scorpio Rising** 9/3/2015, 5:38 pm

Yum, Cappy! Not cheap, just frugal! And served with love, too, I bet! What are you eating from your garden today? - Page 13 3170584802

Made gluten free linguine with broccoli and pesto from basil from our upper garden, peas and herbs and prosciutto. Lots of Romano cheese.

Sanderson, you make New Zealand spinach sound good. Maybe we'll try that again. My young ones, 40 years ago, would sit around the whiskey barrel that was planted with that other stuff and eat the leaves.

Cajun Cappy 9/3/2015, 6:22 pm

Kauairosina I forgot you are gluten free also. Peggy is a celiac so every thing we cook is gluten free Not by choice by requirement

CapeCoddess 9/5/2015, 9:34 am

My breakfast today is a Pizza Pile.
Start with a frozen pizza - mine happens to be gluten and dairy free.
Pile it up with the mornings harvest.
Cook.

That sounds delicious. Would you please share your recipe for the gluten free linguine.
Thanks

I'm sorry I didn't answer this sooner - haven't visited the site much. They are Lemon Boys, my DH's favorite. They are good, and prolific (I started them from seed), not too full of seed and juice (good texture). I don't find them as flavorful as some of the others (heirlooms) but will always have them in my garden. Plus, they're pretty!

**kauairosina** 9/6/2015, 6:44 pm

Oh Nan. I did not intend to mislead you. I purchase the gluten free linguine
Will have to look up the name. It is a new one to me, made of potato and quinoa I think. Ah ha! quinoa is not in the spell check. Too new I guess.
