LOL, they taste pretty good! You can follow the discussion here if you like!

Maria, the Lazy Housewife is a pole bean, and boy does it love to climb. I have it on one side of my cattle panel arch and a couple of the vines have reached the top, 8' mark, and I started them back down the side. I have 9 squares which I planted with these beans and golden bantam corn. They work well together, as the beans help hold the corn upright, and the corn provides nice large stalks for the beans to climb. I think I have about 20 bean plants. The beans look cool hanging from the cattle panel arch, if my ever expanding tommy toe tomato plants could be controlled. I tie them up one day, and the next they are filling my path under the arch again.

Wow, those beans look so healthy!

I just ate my first Kentucky Wonder pole bean of the season. It was a little immature, but so am I. I couldn't wait. Once they find out I've eaten their scout, I hope the Bean Gods send in their entire army in retaliation ...

I feel like a basket from "Chopped."

Green beans, Swiss chard, sweet red pepper, my FIRST beefsteak tomato, lettuce and a few leaves of mache.

I have not decided what herbs to use. Do I roast, saute, steam or go raw? All in one dish or a salad and side dish or two? (I have leftover steamed green beans with mushrooms)

Leftovers! My garden is now producing leftovers! Talk about happy dance! cheers

I'll go replant the lettuce before it rains. And pick herbs when I go. Any suggestions?

Unit, Now that's what I call pole beans! From "she who has one square of pole beans."

Roasted tomato soup with german red garlic, basil, etc, and homemade cheddar cheese croutons. This is so enjoyable that most of the first 8 pounds of ripened tomatoes have been made into this soup-

I should have eaten dinner before I looked at this topic! I'm so hungry looking at the homemade tomato soup and BLT! Homegrown bacon! I wish I had put bacon on the grocery list when my DH went shopping.

Marc Iverson 8/19/2013, 11:25 pm

Yeah, that tomato soup really sounds good!

I had tomato sandwiches with shredded cheddar cheese. Tomatoes included brandywine, big beef, early girl, and Better Bush II. My neighbor's garden chipped in with 4th of July and Roma.

While out in the garden, a few Sungold and Sweet Mojo, a lot of Sweet 100, and two small Kentucky Wonder beans. The beans have plenty of green growth, but their first round or two of blossoms fell off, possibly because of so many reasons -- the too-hot days, the too-cold nights, the fact that too-hot days were paired with too-cold nights, the weeks worth of forest fires blanketing out the sun, the seeming sudden disappearance of bees from our gardens ...

venison fajitas with zuccini, peppers, eggplant, onions all home grown. Beets on the side because we all need beets.

For lunch yesterday I had left over grilled chicken with romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, rainbow carrot, leek slices, and a big radish salad with a side of pickled golden beets. After lunch we made tomatillo salsa big enough to freeze three containers and one for now use. I make it with Serrano peppers instead of jalapenos because I thinks it's better. Last night we had locally made spicy sausage with sweet Italian peppers with a home made tomato sauce on pasta. It was great. The kitchen sure stays messy this time of year.

Sauteed patty pan & yellow straightneck squash.

WriterCPA 8/21/2013, 7:27 pm

No more green beans! Blanching and freezing.

TODAY: Salad - harvested a cucumber to go with tomato and lettuce. Will stir fry some Swiss chard I picked a day ago.

**donnainzone5** 8/21/2013, 8:29 pm

Mixed green salad with my first Stupice tomatoes; green/yellow/purple beans with dill; steamed zucchini and yellow crookneck squash; garlic mashed potato--all as accompaniments to a small steak.

Marc Iverson 8/21/2013, 11:09 pm

A lemon cucumber, various kinds of cherry tomatoes, a neighbor's onion, and another neighbor's yellow zucchini.

Let see...I get to eat is the swiss chard and rainbow chard. My boys are eating the peas, green beans, tomatoes, carrots, and parsley. They don't like to share with me. Sad

Okra. One of the few things I can grow successfully thru the south Florida summers. In fact, I've been eating Okra about 18 out of the last 20 days. Good think I love okra.

**llama momma** 8/22/2013, 4:40 pm

I'm roasting a third batch of tomatoes, garlic, and onions for soup, the kitchen smells so wonderful. Total of close to 9 pounds of tomatoes so far just for soup. I've had more tomato soup the past 2 weeks than the last 20 years combined.

Today I had a few Little Green Eggplant, a Butternut Squash that wasn't going to make it due to pollination, and 1/2 of a Armenian Yard Long cucumber.

I have never seen a cucumber grow so fast. It was about 2 feet long when I picked it.

herblover 8/25/2013, 10:10 am

BLT for lunch with the lettuce and toms from the garden. Burgers tonite with more lettuce and toms, plus homegrown carrots in the coleslaw.
