BeetBear and I decided that today was "get out there and plant the beans! Day" Soil is up to 60F (~15C) and sun is shining. This is about an 8ft. (2.5meter) row with a jute trellis. Beans are Kentucky Blue which is a cross between Blue Lake and Kentucky Wonder. We like them and they are quite prolific.
