I read somewhere (I thought it was a thread on here, but now I can't find it) that Scarlet Runner Beans make good baked beans. I mentioned it to the owner of our local garden store last time I was in there and she said she had never heard of them for anything but ornamentals. Before I buy and...
Great article and I'm excited that I actually have purchased seeds for some of the best in the Midwest - hope they're right!! One of the comments at the end of the article said to mulch, mulch, mulch tomatoes. What is the best kind of mulch to use for tomatoes?

Journey11 - could you share your banana pepper ring recipe with me? I have plans to try those this year as well.
