My first cayenne peppers are ripening. I am growing a variety Amelia gave me 4 or 5 years ago. I save seeds every year. They seem to get better every year.
I also have some shell beans Dan gave me. Vermont Cranberry beans. They are mixed with French flagolet shell beans.
And, of course, the main summer crop - my Sunburst yellow patty pans. Always delicious.
I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI tried patty pan squash this year - both plants have produced almost all female flowers (I know, a bit weird) and I have had not fruit set at all. Go figure! Squash are usually pretty fool-proof with me!
That is a bit unusual that your Vermont Cranberry beans grew out white. Normally the body color is a raspberry color. I wonder if different soils turn them different colors. I'll have to ask around about them changing color. Either way they look nice, the chilies too.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely patty pan squash! I've never grown them, they always look so exotic served up on a plate!
ReplyDeleteDan, They are probably Tongue of Fire beans then. I may now be remembering right and by mid summer, I have stopped labeling what I plant. The Cranberry Beans may be the ones that are staring to bloom now. I'll post a photo of these when I get them and we can see if they look better.
ReplyDeleteThe beans are beautiful, I bet they are delicious too! Mmm! Are the peppers pretty easy to grow? I have never had luck with other types.
