green bean harvest w pics!

here is my harvest of green bush beans... they are trofeo beans I ordered them from gurneys.. I cant believe I got this many beans from just one pack of seeds!.. if I had to estimate I would say at least close to 5 pounds... I did three huge ziploc bags.. one I blanched and froze, one fresh in the fridge and one fresh bag for my girlfriend... heres some pics! let me know what you guys think, has anyone ever grown this variety of trofeo?

I need a budda in my garden to keep an eye on things! We've got some stone turtles in the front flower bed but nothing in the garden (yet)

Oh, and those beans look great!

I want one also; when I bought my place the Buddhists were trying to see if they could change the taxes to a church and turn this place in to a Buddhist retreat. There would have been lots of them here if they did.

I am yet to get any beans, we had such a wet spring.

I am jealous you got that much! My garden beans have produced but not as much as that! You have the garden bean thumb! Try grilling those-wrap them in bundles with bacon and and some seasoning put them in foil on the grill and you will be in heaven! :D

I just harvested yesterday some yellow wax and purple derby...just a few green. I like the yellow wax the best though, you should try them :D. By the way those look great, nice and long too.
