Reply to comment by Nowherelandusa in [homemade] Stir-Fried Green Beans by Hoshi04010

I like looking through Baker creek catalog and seeing all the fruits and veggies I never knew existed. I knew I had never seen anything like it before and wondered how they all looked so perfect. Are you happy with the yield you get with your beans for the space they take?

Yeah, we bought our seeds from Burgess Seed & Plant Co. I love looking through seed catalogs, especially when’s it’s cold and yuck outside, and I can dream of my summer garden haha.

The yard longs produced really well for us. If you pick them often, they produce better. We hadn’t done pole beans before- a little bit of work on the front end, but it beats bending down so much during harvest!

I love our garden, but it does become backbreaking at times. I need to give some serious thoughts about what I'm planting this year. Last year we had problems with a gopher and it ate so many of our tomatoes and dahlias, and stripped 80% of the potato leaves.

I'd plant everything if only I had the money (and the energy). Happy gardening.

I hear you! And we are expecting a little one early this summer, so I’ll probably be about 0 help haha. We would really love to do some raised beds eventually, but time, energy, and budget haven’t aligned yet haha.

My dad always said he had time but not money, or money but no time. Sadly it's hard to have both at once, esp with kids in the mix. Congrats on the new addition.
