Now, here in south Florida, the growing season for most vegies are in the winter months, but I looked up a south Florida planting guide for vegies, and found two things! I can grow Yard-long green beans (they actually grow about 28 inches long), and summer squash! I am excited. I rarely try to grow anything in the summer, because it is so blasted hot, but because of my blogger friend, Bobbie Lynn over at
Why I Love To Garden, I found out that the summer squash grows as a bush (not vining)!!! I am so happy! I think I will try a few bushes! I really want to grow the beans too, but need to put them on about a 6 ft trellis at least...which means I will have to construct something! Hmmmmm.....I really want to!

A big THANK YOU TO BOBBIE LYNN for giving me the info regarding the squash!!!
You can see a pic of her bush in the link above, and here is a pic of the yard-long beans...the red and green varieties ...don't they look like a boatload of fun!
Hi Julie,
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your garden and those beans look wonderful. Wow, look how long they are. I may try some in my garden for a spring garden.
Hi again Julie,
ReplyDeleteJust went out to the veggie area and “oh my gosh”, I took a look to see if I had any more squash to pick and the plant is bigger today (Tuesday) then it was on Sunday. It looks pretty big and one of them has a tomato cage around it. I hope the cage will support the plant. It looks great with the cage around it. Right now the cage helps the squash from hitting the ground. But I will keep you posted.
The beans are looking WOW! Happy Gardening:)
ReplyDeleteNow that's some beans there!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this!! I'm always in need of ideas of what I can plant this far into the growing season, and yard long beans have been on my list-of-things-to-grow.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie *hugs*
ReplyDeleteOh my those beans sure do look like a boatload of fun..*s*. I will have to remember that saying...
What a wonderful garden that is and I hope you can build something for your own beans and squash.
Enjoy your nice long weekend Julie and yes get some rest.

I don't think that I have ever seen beans this long. I love squash, though. I would like to plant some veggies that I could put in containers.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by the blog, Julie. I have been so bad about posting the last couple of months, due to family. I have Mandy's girls now, so my blogging is in spurts. Thanks for thinking of me.
Those long beans certainly do look interesting, Julie...I wonder if they are just as tasty? I say go for it....if anyone can grow them, you can!
