Yeah haven't seen any beans on our vines as of yet [crazy] even though they've been flowering for couple weeks now [
] Yes once the peas stop flowering you know it won't be long till they are over.
Picked and cooked up my first squash. I sautéed it in little butter with sprinkling of nutmeg keeping it more crisp so it didn't get too mushy and of all things even Jeff said it was the best he'd ever eaten (shh don't tell[
]). Of course that's not saying too much but still he also thought having two plants would increase our pollination opportunities. I ended up needed to open flowers that had barely closed up - in fact one flower I opened actually had 2 honey bees inside of it - that was shocking when I first started seeing their legs till I saw what they were [laugh].
That section of fence you have should work just fine.
Its just been an odd summer this year, seems every year has some oddness to it. Kind of like farmers when they either get too much rain then too little of rain, they still keep planting every year.
