How does your garden grow?

With silver bells and cockle shells

And pretty maids all in a row.

Harvesting Beans Daily for Dinner

What a nice surprise to see that we are having just the right amount of Beans for dinner. If I have a few too many, they keep nicely in the refrigerator for a day or two.

Serve hot with a little butter
