Bush Beans

I love snap beans.  I've just ordered seeds for bush snap beans that are an assortment of green, yellow, and purple.  We are also going to try edamame and acorn squash.  Many of the kids love edamame, so I hope this works.  This year we are also going to plant sweet corn, edible seed sunflowers and ornamental sunflowers!  Can't wait.  We are also going to do some peppers, squash, and a couple different varieties of tomatoes.

We are starting a bit earlier than previous years, but a little later than we need to.  I do this so, in theory, more harvest happens after the kids are back in school in the fall.  The cool thing with the beans, an maybe even corn, we can do a second planting for a later-into-fall harvest.
