Ha, it is always a year for weeds!!

Today I did plant afew yard long beans on my home made tee pee in the front yard. But yesterday I had planted a 13 foot row of bush beans. Planted 4 kinds there.

Anellino di Trento
Rocquencourt
Red Swan
Drangon Langerie (Drangon Tongue).

I know I thought about those Dragon Tongue beans for quite some time and truthfully still not sure if I will like them. But since I am going crazy planting beans this year, I decided why not. I mean I will never know if I don't try them.

Look at this picture of the seed packet for the Anellino di Trento.

Never seen beans looked like this before. Red streaked and curved like a cooked shrimp. That is why they call them shrimp beans. Hilarious!

And look at these seeds of Dragon's Tongue, just so speckled and pretty.



If nothing else I will have a colorful collection of beans!
