NEP-220: Growing Your Own Vegetables: Green Beans

Rick Durham, Jann Knappage, Rachel Rudolph, Katie Shoultz | Aug. 27, 2019 (New)

Pole beans in the garden are often popular with children since the bean vines on their supports create great hiding places.

There are many different types of peppers, which are set apart by their shape or spiciness (heat), and most will grow well in Kentucky. Many heirloom, or vintage, varieties exist as well.
