Lima Beans


I'm amazed at the production of the two lima bean plants next to our bit of white picket fence. I'm glad I have an understanding neighbor, as they have really grown on her side of the fence. This is her side. They seem to be producing because of something in the soil- the green beans did well there last year. I was afraid to put the same kind of plant in the same place 2 years running, so I planted 2 "extra" lima bean plants in a bit of space between the cucumber plants and the dill. Those two plants have overwhelmed everything but the Malabar spinach, and will probably take it over with cooler weather. It's great to still be picking things in October!
