Yep, nice jar of beans. My favorite of the shelling type beans are black beans. I just love the flavor of black beans. I make chili out of all sorts of beans as I like to mix it up but the black beans are my favorites.

Oh Sharon, so sorry about the lack of rains. Here my pole beans always keep producing thru the summer but the trick is to keep them picked quickly. Once you let them sit there and not pick, it tells the plants to stop flowering and that means no more beans. After that you have to pull them no matter what time of year. So the pole beans are different from the bush beans. The bush beans seem programmed to set their crop and that is it. But lots of beans to be had. Then nothing.
