Can we all agree that overgrown green beans are, shall we say, not so great?   This would be precisely why Connor, Ian, and I donned our rain gear yesterday to get out in the garden and pick.  (Well, that and the fact that they’ll take any excuse to get outside and stomp around in puddles in the rain!)  The bean plants are yellowing and thinning these days as we grow close to the end of the season, but they’re still producing some beauties–long and very slender.  Thankfully we caught them in time.
