We've just started eating our peas - no beans ready yet. I have some tomatoes that will be ready in a day or two, though :)

Oh, I envy you! My bush beans were all eaten by rabbits, as was almost an entire 5' trellis of pole beans. All I have I have left is one tepee of Romano - I just have to keep the rabbits out, or all I'll have left is the farmer's market.

I'm also waiting for red tomatoes. I have green ones on my maincrop, cherries, drying and paste tomatoes - something has to turn soon!

The tomatoes that are ripening are sunsugar (a tasty golden cherry tomato) and a small red medium sized tomato that I can't off hand recall the name of. I don't like green tomatoes either, except in green tomato mincemeat (yum).

My beans at the home garden are soybeans, which I've never grown before and I am not sure when they will be ready. The community garden beans are Jacob's Cattle beans, which are for drying and lima beans which mostly didn't come up at all (must have been a bad package) and broad beans for my husband who likes them. And chickpeas - second time I've tried them. Last summer they didn't get quite long enough growing season so this year I started them indoors for a head start. Seems to have worked - they have pods on them now. They're very tasty green but you have to take them out of the pods (similar to peas) as the pods are thin, tough and hairy.

I planted yellow beans instead of green (love yellow beans w/sour cream - can make a meal on it) & they are just skinny little things -- maybe in a day or 2. We finally had a good rain. I picked 2 tomatoes to continue ripening in the kitchen where the birds & critters can't get them. Every AM when I look out my window there are 2 or 3 small rabbits running around, but we have a fence around the garden & my son has a yellow Lab that barks if anyone geets too close.
But I've noticed little holes in the bean leaves, & somethings been chewing the brocolli.
I am in northern OH.

Has anyone tried Rattlesnake beans? They are an heirloom variety that taste wonderful. I got mine from a seedsavers exchange event in St. Charles.
