The earliest network bean this year, and one of the earliest pole beans of them all - 'Barry Island'. I usually start the beans in pots about 3 - 4 weeks ahead, but this year I couldn't do that because it was too cold. These got only a little head start in pots. When I noticed the plants yellowing I felt the adrenalin chest thump of 'oh no what's wrong with it' and then I realized, with huge relief, that it's just drying down.
Network bean 'Lambada'. My first try in 2024 was not great, but this year it's doing really fantastic. Funny how that works. Just love this bean.
'Pink Tip Greasy'. Little worried about the lack of developed beans on it at this point. The plants are super healthy though, really nice growth and vigor. I'm hoping for a fall like I had last year, no frost until late October.
'Ohio Pole', it's late but at least some of the beans are a fair size. I guess it'll depend on how much of summer is left if I'll get some seeds. I have none left, this is it. The leaves of this variety are so large, maybe the largest I've ever seen. Much larger than my hand. It's almost like a tropical jungle plant.
Wax bean 'Loipersdorfer Butterbohne'. A very nice little wax bean, doesn't have the wide and long form of 'Karntner Butter' but the yield is similar. Most of the wax beans have faired pretty well. I've really liked all of them. I seldom grow these really, but I thought I'd give them a try this year.
