We did for the first time this year. Let me say, before we grew them in the garden I did not like them. After we grew them this year, I like them better than potatoes!Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442310215979259623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-63059753651809593482011-10-16T12:04:27.319-04:002011-10-16T12:04:27.319-04:00Love those beans.

It was a weird weather year for us though and I am not discouraged by it - just sad to know that next year is shaping up to be an exact repeat for us (La Nina is back). <br /><br />Gorgeous greens thinnings. I can only imagine what the rest of the patch looks like! How are you liking the Mokum carrots?
