Actually, not confused. They were open pollinated. That’s why I want to save them.

I did plant another variety of bean nearby, which I shouldn’t have, but I think that the plants that I’m saving from flowered well before the others.

The pods are dry and brown now and the plants are starting to die back.

I just looked out into the garden and am pleased to see so much red. It’ll be a smallish tomato crop, but something. There’s always next year to hope for.

That’s the Gardener’s Creed, that’s for sure! :)
