Overheard by a dacha tourist, about beans
Picturesque painting
A neighbor went to a neighbor.
It seemed unambiguous: he was acting like a boastful fisherman!
Seeing the hanging bean pods, he said:
- And I have this one growing!!! - showing indecently to the elbow the size of their beans.
She was embarrassed and was silent, obviously thinking: "Show me!"
Apparently, he guessed that the situation was awkward. I went and got an armful of beans.
The neighbor, as they say, hatched and was silent.
And the neighbor continued to surprise, so surprise!
Opens the first pod, and huge blue beans pour out of it. He takes another, opens it, and large white beans fall out of it. He opens the third pod - there are variegated lilacs.
- Wow! So our whole family will eat up with five pods! What are the varieties called?
The answer was simple:
- No way! I do not know! I got these seeds about forty years ago. Therefore, even if I knew, I would still forget.
I advised her to cook a vegetable stew.
When the pods are ripe, he promised to supply her with seeds.
He said that this bean is curly, up to five six meters in height. Grows outdoors (outdoors). The yields are excellent. And in the early years, they grew beans purely for beauty. They liked the summer garden decoration. Both greens and flowers.
Unusual support for curly beans
He also said that when the garden was free of trees, he put up a tall pole and tied many ropes to it. A large hoop lay below. One ends of the rope were tied to the top of the pole. And the other ends to the hoop.
When the bean vines reached the top of the pole, it looked like an ornate Christmas tree in the middle of summer. Green beans were beginning to sprout inside and out. People from all over the area specially came to admire these miraculous plantings. And then he came up with the idea of putting screens. If interested, I'll tell you about them in another article.
