Picking this many every other day, way too many to use, giving most away. Guess I planted way too many.

Red I think thats a common thing I plant to much of everything just to share it with friends. We do love it fresh but there is a limit to what two people can use lol. Ernie

Ernie, I'm hearing ya! You would think the prices would come down this time of year..... in Krogers yesterday they were charging 50 cents each for cukes and I'm having a hard time giving them away! Next year I'm thinking of joining a farmer's market, growing a little more with hopes to supplement my retirement income.

Red interesting thought about the prices. Most of the crudola the big stores carry around here is trucked in I guess thats why the prices stay high. Still irks me that the farmer gets the smallest slice of pie.

Lots of work to farmers markets a friend of mine did it and sold to organic stores lots of long days but he did get good prices for his stuff. Ernie

Big Red, you might go into your local grocery store and ask if they're interested in buying any of your surplus. Our local grocery buys excess from gardens all the time. Usually the stuff that they put out with signs that say "locally grown" flys off the shelves.

Worth a try.

You're welcome Red... I'd have not had any green beans last year were it not for gardeners (who don't have deer eating their green beans) selling their excess.... Unfortunately, I'm hoping there will be folks sharing this year too!

Sorry to hear that, I lost a few plants to rabbits and declared war! No problems lately and we should have a bumper crop of beans. :o)
