Today I noticed that the kidney beans I've been leaving on the bushes to dry weren't looking too good after all the wet weather, so I figured it was time for them to come off. Some of them were starting to dry out, other's not.
DD really enjoyed helping me shell them, and was fascinated to find that the beans inside were pink instead of green.
Out of the 4 seeds I initially planted, 3 grew, and we ended up with 43 beans in the end. Not a bad increase. I think if I had taken the beans off the bush as they grew instead of leaving them on, the bushes would have produced more beans, so I might try that next time.
I'm going to let these dry a bit more, then work out what I'm going to cook with them.
