Well yes, I was able to pick a few green beans here and there, but the green beans generally weren’t much of a success this year. Here is the link to my first post.
I can not really draw any conclusions out of my experiment, since the weeds did not do well either. The green beans I had sown in the greenhouse and later planted in the garden did a little better, but we did not harvest many green beans at all this year, which is a shame, since the kids love them.
Very late to sow, but in August I had sown some more green beans in another weedy bed and these did very well. I have to say, that the wetter worked in my advantage here, since we had plenty of rain and warmth. Of course I sowed them much too late in the season, but these green beans thrived and we actually where able to harvest a meal of these before the first night frost came.
Well, I guess I have learned not to start in the season to early and I should dedicate enough garden space for the green beans. I tent to start in the spring as soon as the soil starts to warm up a little and I just pack every garden space I have not thinking about the crops that come at a later point. Green beans will definitely be one of my main crops for next year, since green beans coming out of our own garden do taste much better then the ones store bought and we miss them very much as a vegetable for over winter.

I’ve found the same thing this year, we are currently eating some bonus purple dwarf beans which grew on plants self-set from an earlier row I chopped and dropped. If you don’t suffer from early frosts (none here yet) then a late bean harvest seems very possible.

Unfortunately the night after I harvested those beans we had our first (and until now) only night frost. It killed the bean plants and the pumpkin plants.

Inevitable, I suppose, but at least you had a bit of a bonus harvest first!
