Beans here had a poor start early in the season... two days of drenching rains immediately after planting caused many of them to rot in the ground. But I had started backups in pots for most varieties, and they proved to be lifesavers this year. Beans grown for snaps & a short DTM dry bean were replanted, and they too are growing well.
Cowpeas & yardlongs are having an exceptional year, rather surprising since it hasn't been that warm this year. Runner beans set seed in several July cool snaps, and have a good pod set. Limas are really lagging, though, far behind where they should be... unless Fall comes late, it may not be much of a year for getting dry seed.
