Pole Green Beans

How to grow great pole beans? Well, first you have to have a few bamboo poles. They work the best because the bean sprouts can grip to the wood. Then you have to have lots of water and sunlight. I also fertilize mine with my regular lawn fertilizer. To keep your beans producing you have to pick them as soon as they are of decent size. Approximately 3 inches in length is a good rule of thumb. The best part about growing pole beans is that my 1 year old daughter has learned how to pick her own and well they are just great for her to eat and learn to take bites.

Summer Squash

Summer Squash, you either love it or hate it. Though there are many different varieties the most common are zucchini and yellow squash. My particular favorite is Yellow Crookneck. It has a great sweet flavor. It is best when picked young while the skin is still soft.
Growing squash requires lots of sun and damp soil. I fertilize mine with my lawn fertilizer. It seems to work really well. Picking the squash also keeps your plants producing more and more.
