Let me tell you, we sure weren't expecting much from our green bean plants based on the progress (or lack thereof) that they've been making the past few weeks. But it seems that these beans must have shot out in a few short days because the plants went from bare to bountiful in no time at all! We actually had enough to make a fairly hearty side for our meal last night, and they were sure tasty. Not quite the pronounced difference between the garden and store-bought like we saw with the zucchini, but still good.
And in other exciting news, we also had a pepper! Which, again, was a total surprise because the plants really haven't changed in weeks. We almost didn't see it either, because it was growing underneath some of the leaves and blended in perfectly. Unfortunately, it rotted before it ripened (and before I could get a picture of it), but it's a promising sign!
