| Today's harvest from seven containers of beans. This is the second picking and probably reflects half of the total yield. Note value on scale - 516 grams |

Sounds like the autogardens are perfect for city dwellers who are low on dirt, space and free time. Good to know that they’re portable. Are beans one of those vegetables (like peas) that produce more flowers after the first harvest is picked? I just planted some bush beans, purple pole beans and scarlet runners – not expecting any til August.
