Yep, they are here. My wife picked MORE than a 5 gallon bucket full last night. She's snapping some this morning. She's already filled 2, 1 gallon zip lock bags. She's barely made a dent in the bucket. She's going to can most of them.
I believe they are Kentucky Blue Lake bush beans.

Good Grief! I live on a mountain side and have cool nights all summer long. Even in our current (unusual) heat, nights are in the high-50s to low-60s. And that comes on the heels of a very cool spring. Add that up, and my beans will not start producing until mid-August! Oh, except for the runner beans, which like cooler weather than common beans. The runner beans started blooming this week.
OTOH, I'll be picking peas until August.

My wife thinned her plants by about half. She says she has time to replant and get more beans. She likes her green beans.

I got some yellow (wax) beans, but the purple ones are still to produce. All are pole beans.

I use to plant Bush Kentucky Wonder a lot but I found a rival in Jade.It is a heavy producer of some great tasting green beans.Both are good though and have never disappointed me.
