The butterbean crop was disappointing. It yielded about two cups of shelled beans, which I gave to Nanny because I'd planted those beans for her. If I'd planted a month earlier, or if the cold temperatures had held off for a couple of weeks longer, it would have been better. There were a lot of pods on the vines that were not filled out.
I didn't harvest the butter peas. Even fewer of those pods were filled out. I decided to just leave them alone and see what happens. After all, this is west Tennessee. It might be 30 degrees today, and 70 degrees tomorrow. If we could get a few more weeks of warm temperatures, maybe the pods will have time to fill out.
