Planting Bush Beans Alongside Indeterminate Tomatoes
Переглядів 2,2 тис.8 місяців тому
Watch as we walk you through planting bush beans next to indeterminate tomatoes. This is one way we really like to take advantage of the different heights of crops in our planting beds. The tomatoes will grow down the middle of the bed on their tall trellises, while the bush beans will grow close to the edges of the bed. This will make it easy for me to sit besides the beds to harvest the beans...

    We enjoy this fast hearty filling recipe and it is my favorite way to prep white patty pan squash as a side or main dish is sautee garlic in olive oil, add a can of chopped stewed tomatoes, add 1" cubed white patty pan squash, cook till patty pan are almost tender, add cubed zucchini and continue till patty pan and zucchini are tender. Enjoy = )

    Thanks for the tips on how to use patty pan squash! They actually do sell them at supermarkets in the Summer,here in England. I have often been tempted to try them,but never really knew how to use them. I always just buy courgettes/zucchini for my Summer squash fix...and butternut or spaghetti squash for my Winter squash fix. 🤤😋

    Thanks for the ideas! I'm happy to see the patty pan volunteer plant I just found in the field behind my house are not too big to eat as they are (possibly tough skins.) How will they be best stored; I have 26? I have them in a single layer in boxes on the patio, but maybe the fridge will be better? How long do they generally keep at room temp or the fridge?

    • @PlumFabulousFoods
      @PlumFabulousFoods 2 місяці тому

      They can sit on your counter for a few days, but for longer term storage (a few weeks) you will want them in the fridge.

      @@PlumFabulousFoods OK thanks, I ended up eating one later that night. It didn't have the texture of a summer squash or a winter squash. It was really more of a potato texture than anything else. It was also very tough to cut through, but I microwaved it with a bit of butter and a little water. What is really strange is the skin was then soft enough to eat. What is the texture of yours when they are that big? As mine are almost all that big.

      @PlumFabulousFoods 2 місяці тому

      Expect the seeds to be very tough. You will probably want to remove them. Also, the skin may be too thick to eat, so they may have to be peeled. I always cringe when people display pictures of their gigantic squashes, because they are really meant to be eaten when they are more immature. I hope they turn out great for you!

    • @PlumFabulousFoods
      @PlumFabulousFoods 3 місяці тому

      Hmmm, I've never heard of a white scalloped WINTER squash. The main difference between summer and winter squash is that winter squash forms a harder skin and after being properly cured, can be stored from the summer (when its grown) until the winter time. Some squashes can be eaten in the tender "summer" squash stage or left on the vine to fully mature and could then be considered a "winter" squash. I'd have to see the seed packet to really know for sure. Hope that helps!

    I like the idea of using sheets for shade. I try to limit the use of plastic products, especially things that are going to degrade in the sun, shed microplastics, and end up in the landfill. So prefer not to use commercial shade cloth. Plus… you are keeping those thrift store sheets out of the landfill too. I also use sheets that I tear into strips for tying fruits and veggies to trellises, etc. Sometimes we just need to do things the way our grandma’s did. ❤
