a. Beet greens (the beets themselves were about the same size as plums and, as Nicole says: "succulent." They didn't make the pic because they were being cooked already. We ate them with a touch of white vinegar and butter. And yes, they were succulent). I steam the beet greens which are also very tasty. Similar to swiss chard, actually, which makes sense as the two plants are related.
b. The first, and slightly smaller than average picking of our yellow rocdor bush beans. We've had eight crops of these and counting. They're delicious as well; slightly buttery and not a tad bit stringy or tough, they are very tender. Our neighbours, friends and colleagues are benefiting from our surplus and so are our paletes. Suffice it to say that 3 square feet of beans planted in 3'' squares produces ample reward for the amount of work. I haven't had to weed them since the second or third week; their crowns shade out the weeds.
c. the lovely shape of a rocdor yellow bush bean. It's a very attractive bean. Slender, and gently curved.
