I grew some plants inside for a while when it was still snowing. I looked at the weather forecast and planted them outside last weekend. I put in 5 tomatoes two eggplants and put in seeds for mustard greens collard greens rutabagas, turnips, three varieties of peppers and several rows of beans. Keeping fingers crossed that no more freezes happen and the 10-day forecast looks good. I have some crookneck yellow squash I bought today that I will plant tomorrow. I am missing pole beans to plant, I am planning to plant around the perimeter of my two fenced garden areas and plan for them to climb the fence. Got to find some bean to plant, looked today and did not find any.

IIRC, we planted top crop bush beans several years ago. Once we have more than enough green beans canned, we let them go and harvest the dry beans.

Some of those we eat, and some we plant the next year for more bush beans. We tried pole beans one year, but they did poorly compared to the bush beans.
