With Ferry-Morse’s organic Blue Lake bush beans in full harvest, Caitlin shares what makes this humble veggie one of her go-to garden staples.From planting to picking to plating, she walks us through why beans are a great choice for gardeners at any level — and how easy it is to turn them into something tasty once they’re in your kitchen.
