Edible Gardening

Nice healthy looking tree.

I've now picked over 50lb of beans in the last three days and they'll be sold tomorrow. A problem we've had is that because of the hot sun for the last month or so the beans have been producing thicker skins and lumpier beans. This hasn't occurred on the inside of the ShineyFrames as they...

I am up to my neck in Beetroot! I grew Cylindra this year and extremely pleased with the results. I think this variety is sweeter than the more commonly available Boltardy variety that I have grown in the past. I have cooked and frozen Beetroot in the past but then used it as a side vegetable...

Oddly, mine were end September/October...

Can't think of any off the top of my head. Tatiana's list is the go to place for information:I see Red Robin is in there and know a few members have had good results with it.
