This year I planted a milpa-inspired bed with #squash #beans and #sorghum in place of #corn / #maize.

Everything grew great! The weird thing, however, was that the beans did not flower. At all. Until after the fall equinox when it was too late for them to mature pods. I planted Frijol Negro Santanero from Rancho Gordo that were grown in #Oaxaca. Turns out, much to my surprise, common beans can be day-length sensitive! I live too far north for this tropical variety.

43 #tomatoes in. Bring the rain. Didn’t have the energy to tackle the #peppers. Maybe Wednesday between rainy days. The #fennel is the best looking I’ve ever grown. #BokChoy is bolting. 2/3 of the #broccoli starts have croaked. But, speaking of croaking, I encountered two adorable wee #toads that made me glad I was there. ❤️ Bless their warty little souls! Sorry no pix because gloves and chicken poo fertilizer and just hot and tired. #gardening #OrganicGardening #GrowYourOwn #SeedToTable

@thebiologistisn Three accidental bean hybrids from our #garden. The black with white speckles and pintos with black markings are from several years ago that I've been selecting over time to hopefully stabilize. The black with white ends or white with black ends ? ones just appeared last year and I hope to stabilize them, too. I have no illusions that these are unique given how many bean cultivars there are, but this has been an interesting undertaking. #gardening #beans #SeedToTable
