First Beans

This is the sum of our first harvest of beans. I've been picking them as they were ready, because it seems like the green beans are especially enticing to some of our bird (I assume) population. The yellow ones, not so much. Actually, mostly whoever it is eats the leaves and not the beans themselves, or at least, not yet. I try to beat them to it by harvesting as the crop is ripe. Anyway, I picked these and we ate them lightly steamed with basil dressed chicken pieces one evening last week.

Yum.
