I searched through the overgrown garden and found a few pods. The beans did not do well at all. I found about 7 pods, but they were short and the beans did not fill out to a good size. They stayed small like a pea. Some are totally black, some had a small white spot. I’ve got about 20 beans to replant. I feel this bean didn’t have a fair opportunity to do well. We had so much rain, I couldn’t keep the weeds out. I will take those beans I saved and try again. Will you try a fall crop this year? I don’t think I’m up to it this year. It’s still raining at least one to twice a week here. I got an inch and a quarter this morning. I do plan on growing some beans George sent me. I’ve never tried growing in a bucket, but thought I’d try a few Tennessee Cutshort.

We don’t get anything like what you get, it sounds like, but it has been a really rainy week here, too. Today we’re actually having sun, though. I’m hopeful that the moisture in the ground will help keep the temperatures a bit lower, though the humidity was so high yesterday that I was having trouble breathing while working outside. Ugh.
I’ve never tried growing in a bucket either, though I can’t say I haven’t thought of it when I’ve found one with a crack in the bottom.

I usually have 6” wide cracks in the ground by this time and 100+ degree temps. It’s just been a strange year. It sure has me scratching my head.
