Bean arbor

vgqnToday I planted beans on the magnificent bean arbor magscanner created, many of them in pairs for comparison:
Kwintus and Smeraldo, flat Italian style beans
Blue Lake (round green, from 2 different sources)
King of the Garden and Dreer's Improved limas
Golden lima (not a true lima)
BB Wax (round yellow)
Big Mama (green frosted with lavender, our favorite for grilling [yes, grilled!])
Marvel of Venice (yellow flat Italian)
Plus on the tallest of the painted ladders I planted Dutch White Runner.
Next to go out are a few more peppers (most are already out), winter squash, cucumbers, melons, and more dry bean varieties (haven't decided which ones yet, but Ethiopian Yellow Lentils for sure -- they look like hominy when cooked). Oh yeah, and flowers in between things.
The raspberry crop is looking impressively heavy this year, and I spotted the first hint of color on one today! Salivates in eager anticipation. The variety is Tulameen, sweet & delicious. According to one chart, it's a late summer variety. Guess my plants didn't read the manual.
