*Disclaimer- My dad hates these beans.  He says it’s the goat cheese, but I take everything he says about veggies in general with a grain of salt.    He won’t eat carrots.  EVER!  So that just shows you what his vegetable thinking is.  I don’t want to paint this post a little too rosy, so I thought I’d get that off my chest.  BUT- Everyone else loves these beans, so at least give them a try:)

See large bean wall next to glorious Zinnias:)

Is this what your dinner plates have been looking like a lot lately?  Ours have.  I must admit that some nights dinner may be strictly watermelon, or peaches and cream.  I will say though, that these are some of my favorite meals of the year.  Maybe if I was able to eat like this year round it wouldn’t be so wonderful.  But the fact that this season only lasts a short while, I relish every garden dinner I eat.

These beans were my Jimmy’s idea.  We have a favorite bean recipe throughout the year and this is a take on that.  Since everything seems to taste better when it’s roasted, and since it is so easy to do, I gave the suggestion a try.  And it was a winner!

I have been buried in beans.  At least 2 five gallon buckets a week.  I’ve given them to anyone who will take them.  You see, I only planted them this year for aesthetic purposes.   I have a ton of bottled beans still from last year, as well as a bunch of Dilly Beans.  I love the look of the tall bean poles next to the row of zinnias:) That’s all there is to it.  So if you have beans, try them out one night like this.   Good luck and happy gardening!!
