As suggested in an earlier post about green beans I planted some Contender bush beans. I found some seeds at the local dollar store and bought the last few packs they had three for a dollar. Sure beat the price of ordering them online and paying shipping and handling. Even though the seed count was inconsistent and sparse I managed to tuck three half rows in an out of the way place in my garden and they are producing like crazy and I will be able to save seeds for next year.
I did not give up on the rattlesnakes and they are very vigorously filling up the trellis and should have beans soon. Last year I had a terrible time growing beans and my pantry suffered and I hope to make up for it this year.
Everything else is looking good and can't wait to empty the potato pots and see what I've got. I'm being patient and have not even reached in to steal a few. The plants look good I just hope nothing is in there eating them up.
Happy gardening everyone.
