Pole Beans

I picked my first pole beans today. They look a little pithy. I don't know if it's the time of year, lack of sun the last few weeks or what. The fires we had here in Kalifornia three weeks ago left a nasty dusting on the leaves that may have harmed them. I guess I'll wait and see what the next batch look like. I usually pick for about a month before the plants give it up. I had a couple of squash seeds germinate this week also. I got a Brussels Sprout plant started too. So many seeds and so little time.
