In going through my pantry, I realized I that I have no wax beans. I did
look at both Winco and Walmart the last times I was in and saw none. None
online at Walmart either. A Froogle search turned up mainly some hair
removal thing. Target had them for $1.59 per can. The Del Monte brand. Yet
nothing came up for delivery the last time I looked. QFC had their brand for
58 cents. Not sure when I will go there again but when I do, I will look for
them!

I can live without them. They're just nice to have for a change of pace.

Are they hard to find where you live?

No, but it will be interesting to see how many replies you will receive and

I couldn't say. Personally, I do not go out of my way to look for wax
beans, canned or otherwise. They appear to be pretty darn bland and
yes, I could certainly live without them.

I'm sure Druce will be here, sniffing my ass, very soon. Cover your
noses! I am not presently there with julie, but I lived nearby
while stationed in the US army, for years.

In those days, that area was not bizarre, like today. It was much
the same as any community in the western US.

I found the people pleasant, and very few nut cases. It was a nice
place to live when I was Off duty. I thought about moving back there.

The air force also had a base, McChord AFB. And the navy had a
small presence, but they only sent the homosexuals there, to be
processed out. The waters in the north pacific entrance were too
difficult and dangerous for warships to negotiate. So, Navy always
had their main base in san diego. They did send lots of personnel
being discharged.

Popeye likely was discharged there, after being caught eating diks
in the galley.

I love green beans. I don't care much for yellow beans. They aren't
horrible. They just aren't very good.

Sounds like you're worried to me. Otherwise why would you post about
realizing you had none in your pantry?

Drama? If you're not concerned about having wax beans why would you
start looking for them and price them then post "and "saw none". "None
onoine at Walmart, either." You brought it up.

No, it doesn't mean that. I've bought frozen, cut wax beans. They were
bland even with my adding butter and a bit of Mrs. Dash seasoning. Wax
beans are boring.

I don't hate them. I will eat them if they are served to me. I cook them
if my wife wife buys them. I just find them disappointing compared to
green beans.

something to talk about?

i happen to grow them and like them. as one of the beans
in a multiple bean salad they are nice to have for color and
taste variation.

however, my main way to eat them is fresh while they are
still crunchy standing in the garden as i am picking them.
the next favorite way to eat them is steamed until just done
with some firmness still to them so they are not mush and a
bit of butter or plain.

That's not why I posted. I posted because I can't find any to buy. I'm not
worried about that either. I tend not to worry about anything.

I have grown them but never seen them for sale fresh. I have bought purple
beans. Not sure what they're called. The turn green when cooked so not worth
the price. I do have a couple of cheap cans of three bean salad.

Not to me they're not. What's boring is steamed foods. Hum Bow is an
exception.

i wouldn't pay a premium for beans of any color as they
are just beans. get whatever is in season and cheap as
possible as long as they are in decent condition.

everything i grow here is not sprayed so i don't have to
worry about too much crud on them.

there are many kinds of purple beans.

multibean salad is pretty easy to make and not that
expensive if you grow your own - i used to make a few
dozen quarts a year at least. i dislike canned kinds if
they are in metal and much prefer those in glass instead.

I used to grow them in my garden when I lived in Ontario. I steamed
them and we loved them!

In Alberta, not only can I not grow them, but we don't see them in the
stores, either. And I'm not at all interested in canned beans.

Exactly) I think we all do that

i happen to grow them and like them. as one of the beans
in a multiple bean salad they are nice to have for color and

This year I am starting to have time in my garden so reading all
the stuff you grow I might be looking at you a bit.

however, my main way to eat them is fresh while they are
still crunchy standing in the garden as i am picking them.
the next favorite way to eat them is steamed until just done

on average how many frost free days do you get?

our growing season for beans runs from around the end
of May until mid-September, but if we get lucky we can
go a few weeks longer.

peas are planted about six weeks before beans and are
a great start to the season.

if it is cool enough where you are at you can probably
get two crops of peas in.

Peas and beans are really easy to grow. When the kids were little, we
had a big garden, with trellises set up for the peas and beans. I
planted leaf lettuces at the base of the plants - we had very hot
summers, the lettuces helped to keep the legume roots cool, and the
nitrogen-fixing ability of the peas and beans fed the lettuces. The
lettuces also helped to keep down weeds.
I always managed two pea crops, one very early, one late, with beans
overlapping in the middle.

In Scotland, depending on the variety, I could probably get _three_
plantings of peas a season, but I haven't tried that yet.
The purple snap-peas I grew this year were delicious - I will definitely
be growing them again.

The purple snap peas? That was here (Sutherland), on the north coast.
My daughter isn't fond of ordinary peas, but even she liked these.

I should check to see if that variety is available in the UK, I really
liked those peas, and they are also very ornamental.

From a US company in Pennsylvania - Burpee's. I brought them with me on
my last trip.
I should check to see if that variety is available in the UK, I really
liked those peas, and they are also very ornamental.

If you find them, please let me know. I haven't seen any

I've sent an enquiry to Burpee, asking if they ship to the UK.
The variety name is Sugar Magnolia.
We've visited their experimental farm a number of times - it's a
fascinating place.
