Three beans. That’s my entire first crop of green beans.

I planted quite a few bean seeds, in rounds at least a week apart. Only one of the first seeds made it to maturity, hence my three-bean harvest.

I ate one right away. I can’t say it tasted different than a store-bought bean. But I felt thrilled to have grown it myself.

I chopped the other two beans into a salad and then forgot about them.

Five other plants have sprouted. So it doesn’t look as if I’ll get enough for one full serving of beans. But, I’m still enjoying them.
