Bean Seeds
Most gardeners start their
green beans from seed. This way they can choose exactly what type of green
bean they want to grow in their garden. Green beans grow on two different
types of plants, bush plants and pole plants. Once you decide what type
of plant you want in your garden you have a wide variety of green bean
seeds to choose from.
Facts about
Bush Green Beans:
Bush plants grown about 1 1/2
feet tall. Bush plants should be planted in rows at least 2 to 2 1/2 feet
apart to allow for ample air flow between them. Most bush snap bean seeds
mature within 50-60 days.
Facts about Pole Green Beans:
Pole beans can climb between
8 to 10 feet high. You must supply them ample support, such as a trellis,
fence or pole. They will need help starting their climb, but one established
they will continue well on their own. Most pole snap bean seeds mature
within 65 to 80 days.

Some garden
experts suggest home gardeners, especially beginners, use fungicide treated
seeds. The fungicide helps to prevent certain plant diseases from occurring.
They also suggest you choose bean varieties that are resistant to diseases
such as powdery mildew, rust, bean mosaic and curly top. This is not a
guarantee you won't develop these problems in the garden, but it's an
extra measure of help against them.

Thanksgiving Dinner Recipes, Turkey Help
I took the turkey out of the freezer and put it into the refrigerator two days before Thanksgiving so that it would thaw thoroughly. I also kept an eye on it to make sure it was thawing. The day before Thanksgiving I got the turkey out, removed the giblets and rinsed it. I put the turkey back in the refrigerator.
Different varieties of green beans
I remember the first time I heard the Barefoot Contessa Ina Garten use the term haricot verts I couldn't think what it could be. Knowing how Ina loves French cooking I knew that it must be some fabulous French ingredient I'd never heard of. Well, imagine my surprise when I leared that haricot verts were green beans! True haricot verts are very thin, crisp and tender green beans.
