I hope you have been getting some of the sporadic rains we have been having. It rained here 3 times in the last day, but not once at work. Your bean are as beautiful as any flower.

I have been struggling trying to keep up with reading all my favorite garden blogs, and have finally talked myself into not stressing over it. The cold weather will be here soon enough, and there will be plenty of time to spend indoors then. In the meantime I will enjoy being out in my .garden. Those purple beans are awesome as is the Giant Hyssop, a plant I have never grown. I wonder how it would do here in zone 8. It is so easy to become distracted this time of year.

Yes they do turn green when cooking and according to my son the flavor was okay, but he prefered the more flavorable taste of the KW beans. :) Update: I cooked a few of these Purple Podded Beans along with the Kentucky Wonders.

Wow on the giant hyssop! Can't wait to see it bloom...Dragging hoses and watering cans around does get tiring! We finally had some rain but I see that the temps are heading back up over the next few days. Maybe the rain will blow over your way gail <em>Wouldn't be something if they kept that color when cooked. My son was relieved they looked like green beans when I made some though, lol. Looks like we shouldn't have to wait too much longer to see the blooms on the Giant Hyssop, I saw a few buds today. Looks like the rain you got blew our way. We got about an inch! :) I tried these beans last summer and darn I sure wanted them to cook up purple! Wow on the giant hyssop!
