2025 Garden Get-Together
From My Bowl: Garden Fresh Green Bean Recipe
In this episode of the 2025 Garden Get-Together, Caitlin from From My Bowl shares one of her favorite ways to enjoy a backyard harvest: sautéed garlic green beans, made with Bush Blue Lake 274 organic bean seeds from Ferry-Morse.
The recipe is quick, simple, and endlessly versatile — just a handful of ingredients and about 15 minutes from pan to plate. But what makes it special is how it started: with a tiny seed, planted in her home garden.
For Caitlin, growing from seed means more than saving a trip to the store. It means choosing high-quality seeds she trusts, watching each plant thrive, and harvesting at just the right moment — when the beans are crisp, tender, and full of flavor.
It’s the kind of ingredient that makes even the simplest dish feel extra satisfying. And because these bush beans are compact, productive, and easy to grow, they’re perfect for raised beds, small spaces, or anyone just getting started.
When you grow it yourself, you’re more inspired to cook with it.
