yard long beans

I grew a mix of pole beans this year. Haven't really eaten any, but they are always beautiful on the garden fence. 



 

okra

8 plants this year. About right for us. I barely have enough to do anything, but I can make an excellent succotash when the corn and tomatoes are coming in, and that's about all I'm after. 


They take up about 1.5 feet x 4 feet of garden space. 
 

edible podded radish

Experimental this year, and quite good! The seed pod is lighter than the root - in flavor, in density... It's juicier, but still very "radish".



 

sunflowers

Every year I have tried to grow branching sunflowers on either end of the garden sink. This year I succeeded -  with two on one side.




 
 

corn

Just a note to remind us about corn quantities. 

6 dozen ears = 72 ears = 36 cups = 18 bags = 1/2 c per ear.
