It's good to hear there's still people who enjoy the flavorful yellow wax beans. I have a long growing season left. Temps don't start dipping until mid-late October. Then we'll get Indian summer with daytime temps again in the mid-upper 80s for most of November. I don't bring in the pineapples and plumeria until about halfway between and when overnights consistently get below 50.

I wonder if there's still time to order some and get a harvest this year? By gosh, I think there is! Anyone have a favorite source or one to warn me away from for this particular bean?

They ain't gonna win any beauty contest but they sure do look like good competitors in the yummy tasty category. Makes me want to whip up a loaf of bread.

I'm very happy with Seed Savers Exchange.

I have never grown yellow wax beans.
I have purchased many other seed types from Twilley's Seed in SC. They ship fast.

I have never grown yellow wax beans.

For shame.

For shame.

I know. I need to fix that.

Heck, I have barely grown the green ones this year. Dang weather! I do have enough for a couple meals I just picked. Will process those today. They are still making blooms so maybe I will get more.

I believe my yellows are ready to pick today if I can fight through the pumpkins. My green ones are the ones I had to replant.

Good luck with the yellows!

All in one bed I have a couple plants each of pumpkin, butternut squash, watermelon and cantaloupe. The vines all run together. The cantaloupe is always ready first. Have to be careful picking those.
I am seeing die back now in that bed. I will be harvesting pie pumpkins and butternuts soon. 3 more watermelons all most ripe. I've had about 10 cantaloupes. I missed one.

I put 5 sweet potato slips in a row over in the main garden. Oh, my do they vine! I am so glad I did not plant more. I've been able to maintain some control but have to keep at it every 3-4 days. I surely hope there is taters down there.
