Planting beans, big harvest

Another very hot day, 90s.  Last night I planted poles beans "Kentucky Blue" on the east half of the pea trellis. Today I planted Yard Long Red Noodle Beans (Johnny Seeds) on the west half.  (I don't remember which seed I planted on the trellis in plot #1).   Only just realized the Yard Long beans are "85 days", which wouldn't be until the beginning of October. Ouch. The Kentucky Blue beans are 60 days, or early September.  Although with this heat they should grow fast.

Also ripped out the cilantro and shook the seeds over the bed so they grow back. Need cilantro for the tomatillos.

Harvested another batch of potatoes to make room for the butternut squash - big white ones. Also:
Swiss chard (getting fungus or bacteria spots, need to be more careful watering)
radishes (small, some are wormy)
carrots (nice!)
one rutabega, just one for the season.
3 onions
bag of lettuces (some from Hannah's plot). The Mesclun is pretty much done.
bag of jalapenos
3 more cucumbers
