I say that all the time, coincidentally the dog in the photo is named beans and is a long dog. I may have a problem.
I bought some cheapie bean starts from the grocery store this spring, I was complaining that nothing was happening, then the long bean emerged. Now Ive got a crop of hilariously long beans. I tried this one and maybe it wasn't ready yet as there was a sort of paste in-between the beans pods and nothing was really defined. Edible but not enjoyable.
Anyone have long bean experience?
Preparing for the Cider Festival thats next weekend.
Amazing. Total contender for divorced birds. I love the macro shots.
Got the fall harvests going on, everything is early because we skipped winter. This was all from the strip of grass in between the fence and the sidewalk.
The small green pumpkins are the "naked" variety and are intended for eating the seeds. The big ones were unknowingly self seeded last Halloween when someone put a firecracker into a store bought pumpkin at 11pm. The perfect kind of debauchery.
Now I just need to roast some seeds and make like 15 pumpkin pies. Any other ideas?
It depends on what you are planning to do with it, but I would recommend the North Vancouver Waste control services centre. They get Grade A (no glass no plastic) Organic-certified compost that is fully broken down (no weeds, very fine). They sell it in pure compost or garden ready mixes. The best part is you can get exactly as much as you would like, bring your own bucket or truck and they also deliver. I have gotten at least 5 truckloads from them over the years and it works great for gardening.

If you are looking to grow grass and level out areas, you need a dirt sand mixture. For that I would recommend Lawn Boy or Ground Works Construction Supply.
Other people recommended Garden Works which is just a fantastic store and I love going but $$$. Show up early and get the eggs benedict, if you're late you'll be throwing elbows with the grey-hairs.
I'm starting my fall CSA (community supported agriculture) for some fresh local veggies and bread. I've never done this before but it seems like a fitting time to buy some local parasite-free food.
