I cooked purple beans, Rattlesnake pole beans and Mountain half runner beans tonight and when they were done you couldn't tell which was which...but all tasted great...First of the season.....Squash needs picking bad but my blood pressure is acting up a bit and I didn't want to take a header into those prickly plants.....Will roll slices in cornmeal and fry it, probably.....A neighbor called this afternoon and gave me three more large heavy wire cages, so I may share the squash with them...Can no longer garden...We have cukes growing in the 3 cages he gave us earlier.....Too many, but then Buzz helped Papa plant them and I guess they were cucumber hungry...Just a few cukes so far, but very crisp and tasty....Jeannie T, feeling blessed to have a garden.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ On Thu, 12 Jun 2008 10:21:41 -0700 "Peace Roses" <Roses4831@msn.com> writes: > I think that is so coool that Granny can work miracles for Buzz.
