2025 Little Easy Bean Network - Growers Of The Future Will Be Glad We Saved

i still had some beans to pick but i'm not sure now that they'll be any good with how much rain is in the forecast. yet i will cross those bridges when i get to them...

some of the bean plants are still finishing up. the website for first frost dates puts us down for average on Oct 22nd, but we've had frosts much earlier than that so i usually consider most plants reliable if they can finish by mid-September and then see how it goes.

Mine are all podded except for the few varieties which still need to dry down further. Some are still out there as we’re having a dry autumn with still no frost forecast up to the end of the month. Still lingering are Rose, Panzaredda, Rio Zape, Blue Greasy Grits, Blaue aus Ungarn, Fat Man, Heavenly Gold and Bob & Mary. Fully picked but still drying indoors are Sultan’s Gold Crescent and Jack’s Blue & Green.

How are your Rose pods progressing? All here are picked and pods opened up to dry indoors as the seeds were germinating on the vine. They seem to hold onto moisture for a very long time.
