Then the weather forecast predicted our first frost. Lows in the 30 degree range. I dug out all the sheets we had in the house and covered up all of my green beans.
2 nights we dipped below freezing. It stayed too cold for too long and my beans bit the dust.
Over night they went from luscious bright green leaves to wilted, shriveled up vines. Needless to say I was pretty bummed. I was hoping to get another batch of beans preserved and stored away in the pantry. From the looks of it, had it not froze so early I think I would have had a pretty nice crop.
Oh well. I guess sometimes you win some and sometimes you lose some.
The same thing happened to my tomatoes even though they got covered really well. There is always next year.

That can be so frustrating! The rabbits ate my fall crop of green beans - the kids were happy though LOL. I guess I don't need to preserve as many as I normally do, more and more they claim to not like them.
