You let him watch sports on TV? :lol:

No, but she did take the parental block off of G4.

First beans http://www.flickr.com/photos/busterb...in/set-446798/

Buster, are those purple beans like stringbeans or do you shell them? :confused:

String beans, they turn green when cooked.To me just easier to see when picking.

And they are beeee-uuuuuu-tiiiiii-fullllll!

BusterB,
What is the name of the seed, and where can I get it?

I was just outside looking at the sugar snaps and snow peas. I didn't realize that they had begun to set pods. I saw the flowers last week, so i figured it would be soon, but they are pretty well hidden. (Or I need glasses)

Purple would make it easier.

Louisiana purple pod beans. I get mine at feed store. I love sugar snaps & snow peas. Guess I need to get more wire for a row next year. Or plant bushh type so can pull up when time to plant other things.

Blue berrys on wash rack I built. Pie this wkend. Yumm.

Wow busterb, nice job! The pipe planters in your album interested me, what did you use to seal the ends up so the dirt doesn't fall out?

LR, I know you weren't talking to me, but I found this. May be interesting/useful.

My parents came back from their place in the country with 20 pounds of cherries, and my mom's been pitting and preserving ever since. :yum: It was pie last night.

I like the washrack, you're full of good ideas. Last year I put up about 30 pints of blueberry jam. I think washing them took about half the time.

This year I am freezing everything, I've got more room than time.

15 quarts of strawberries so far.

LR. I cut the ends out of pressure treated 2x 12s, then screws. 1 board made the base and ends HAd to cut 2 circles out. 1 for the ID and 1 for OD.
