runners

We used to run around the track and the neighborhood.

Then we moved and started farming fulltime. A 7 day a week thing, with livestock, vegetables, markets, deliveries.

Our runners now are a different thing.

These beans bloom red. The hummingbirds love them!

They don't mind cold temperatures. Word is that native Americans grew them.

No beans yet. Flowers first, and pollinators, then beans. And these beans are great as string beans. Or a little larger as fresh beans out of the pod. Or dried and used in the wintertime to fill a pot and add a delicious bit to a meal.
