2020 Victory Gardens
mullet:
I picked all of my green beans three months ago. Just picked the rest of the ghost peppers, tomatoes,Nampa cabbage, cucumbers, peaches and Barbados cherries. The garden is sitting dormant covered in saw dust growing worms for now waiting to plant okra and collard greens and broccoli. I have two tubs of purple sweet potatoes planted and waiting to pick muscadine grapes and pineapples along with figs.

Never tried the milkweed buds. Guess I'll have to try them

The blossoms are bright purple. Don't know if they'll make beans, but it sure is pretty having those splashes of color in among the corn.
Aren't anasazi beans more of a dry bean than a green bean?

WB, you are correct, they tend to be a high, dry climate bean from the Four Corners region. There are several good articles on line about them. They will survive a light frost, usually. They do like a bit of water now and then for best results and when planted with corn and squash. I think it is a bit too late for me to put in corn here, though. I plan to use tomato cages as trellises. Got to find a plant nursery in the area!

My daughter would never forgive me--she wants it all for the monarch caterpillars!
