In all the years I've grown these old-time Appalachian greasy beans, I've never seen so many blooms as this year. If only half of the blooms make beans, I'll have more than I know what to do with. I've got 6 100 feet rows!!
Wow, that's a lot of beans! Can you eat the dry beans too, or just green? P.s. Welcome to Garden Stew!
A lot of people around here shell them for dry beans and also dry them for what we call shukie beans. I like to eat them fresh-picked. Either which way, they're the best-eating beans one can grow.
Looks like you'll have a massive crop either way. This week, deer ate my fenced-in bush bean plants. I'm planting more now, in a more protected spot. Just regular green beans but we like them.
All those blooms have made tons of beans!! We've picked so many beans these past few weeks that I'm starting to see beans in my sleep
So Jimmy, is shukie a recipe or is it what you call Appalachian greasy beans when they're dry? I looked it up and got a Minecraft thing and a bunch of people.
