I've already had my share of coleslaw but i like it, and the sourkraut sounds yummy. Reminds me of my trips to Leavenworth where we had bratwurst on a bun with saurkraut. You're a rockstar, granny, for being so productive in the garden and the kitchen! I'm tired just reading your blog and then you're blogging too!

I haven't checked to see if any are ready yet as they were planted almost a month after the Kennebec I have been harvesting. I will check on them tomorrow.<br /><br />Velour Beans look to be very productive. I am in love with the purple color and will have to make note of this variety for next year. Seeing your bean harvest has made me very eager for fresh beans. I just spotted some blooms on some of mine today.
