beans!

This season I'm trying an experiment.  I'm growing bush beans in a couple pots on my deck--green, yellow, and purple.  The experiment seems to be working!

my first harvest!  shown with a nasturtium blossom (edible).  These beans were oh so tender and delicious!

    Those look fantastic, Margaret!
    I've never tried growing beans in containers before, but I might next year :)

    Wow, I've never seen purple beans before. I'd grow them just because they're so pretty :)

    Beans are one of my favorite veggies, raw or cooked. Yours look so good!

    Wow good job! It really is an art, growing your own produce. It's great that you are helping the earth by growing at least some of your own food!

    Gorgeous photo! I wanted to start growing some veggies but we were a little late this year. We just bought a new house in April and it's going to take a bit of work to get an area together for a garden (lots of river rock landscaping). I hope to be able to have a garden next year.

    No way! I would never think of using containers maybe because it is so hot here but what a great idea. And yours look great.

    Great picture, I'm curious about what you prepared with them.
