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.

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 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?

These are just long beans that OP shaped by hand to be spiral springs, they don't grow this way. They're called Yard beans, Chinese long beans, asparagus beans, or snake beans.

Found a page showing how it's done, but link was removed. You can try googling "garnish from long bean".

OP, I kinda hate that you dropped this pic and just left us all in confusion. But kinda glad you sent me on a seed adventure.
