May 25/14 Green Beans

This is a guesstimate- of when the Igloo green beans were seeded.
into an 4 by 8 bed, near rhubarb

planted some in horizontal rows and some in vertical rows
We think picking is easier if the rows are planted across in shorter rows

This is a good variety- Dam14- Igloo

The beans mature nicely- get a good couple of heaving pickings.
This year this planting did a second blooming and a heavy crop was picked September 7/14
