Summertime gardening often means spending some serious quality time with your own thoughts as you tend the plants, forage the foliage, and pluck out your harvest. I find that there's no better place to ruminate than while hunting down leggy legumes in my bean rows.

Whether you prefer "string," "jade," or "snap," climbing beans can yield a hearty crop in our zones. So get out there! Root through the leaves until you find those beans (and perhaps some perspective you didn't even realize you'd lost).
