An unexpected gift of different kinds of seeds from some dear friends came as a delightful surprise this spring. With the addition of another raised bed, I now have more area for vegetable growing. I decided to try sowing beans. The seeds had a packet of 'Blue Lake' Bush Beans seeds. I chose 6 and put them in little seed starters in the first week of March.
By the second week of April, all the plants had small white flowers.
The little ones were growing fast and here is a picture of a cluster of beans.
They were about three inches high in about 2 weeks and I put them in my new raised bed with little pea plants for company.
They were bush beans so I didn't have to worry about putting up a trellis, but I decided to put cages around all six plants. I found these nice green ones that seemed perfect!

Soon enough, I noticed the very first tiny bean among the flowers! It was exciting to see the development!

On the last day of April, about forty + beans were ready to be harvested. I added them to a salad. They were delicious.
