purple beans and garlic!

tonight we harvested our first batch of purple string beans….yes, they are purple, which really helps in the harvesting process….but they do turn green when cooked. they are delicious. nothing like fresh-picked dinner!

we only planted a little bit of garlic last fall and it is now hanging in the garage to dry out. we buy our garlic from seeds of change. they only ship in the fall for fall planting. we plan to put a 12′ x 4′ bed in this fall.
