Hi guys! Recently we had our first bean harvest! So in today’s post I am gonna show you guys the harvest and how we cooked them. Let’s get into it!

So first the harvest. We got a decent amount out of the two containers of bean plants we have considering this is our first harvest! The type of beans that are in this post are called dragon tongue beans. As you will see, they have a cool purple stripe pattern on creme colored skin. We also harvested one other type of bean. It is called scarlet runner beans. (We only got one tho.)

Here are the pictures of the beans:

Because the beans didn’t really tase good plain, we fried them with salt, butter and garlic. They were soooo good! Sadly the dragon tounge beans loose their purple coloring when they are cooked. But they tasted like amazing green beans!

Here are some pictures!

They tasted AMAZING!

Here are some facts about beans:

Most beans usually go from seed to harvest in about six to eight weeks. Witch means that they are pretty fast producers.

There are two types of beans, vining beans, and bush beans. They are just like their name suggests. Bush beans are bushy, and vining beans are vines and need support like a trellis. These dragon tounge beans are a bushy type bean, (though they still like to send out vines), and the runner beans are a vining bean. Here are some pictures:

The next fact is also about the different types of beans. It’s how bush beans usually produce their harvest more all at once in a span of a couple weeks, and vining beans usually have a more spread out harvest time.

Well, that is all for today’s post! I hope you enjoyed it and learned something from this post. Stay tuned for my next post soon! Bye!
