Hmmm, I've never had purple string beans - will need to try some. My gut says yes, due to my experience with purple carrots and potatoes though.

Something is not quite right in the garden....
This spring I purchased 2 each of Peach, Apple, and Cherry trees. The peaches were both labeled the same variety (which is OK because they are self fertile). Both "peaches" have set fruit - hooray! However... I don't think they are both peaches as advertised.
Exhibit 1: Pretty sure this is a true peach. Light color, fuzzy skin.
Exhibit 2: Not a peach. Red color, smooth skin. Maybe a plum or nectarine?

Grower finds nectarine growing on peach tree - Fruit Growers News
In the spring of 2010, Kenneth Crews, owner of Crews Family Orchard in Gretna, Va., was thinning peaches when he noticed something strange. “I sat down on the tailgate of my truck to take a break,” he said. “I just happened to look at the next tree I was going to work on and said, …

Arizona gardener with brussel sprouts, two different tomatoes, three different potatoes, three different lettuces, two different kales, green onions, cilantro, green bell and jalapeno, cayenne, tomatillos, swiss chard, and cucumber. In the opposite side of the brussels I have long red, dixie, virginia 12, and little dutch tobacco growing!

My attempt at home made soil blocks...made with some scrap 2" pvc and the handle end of a baseball bat! A bit cumbersome but effective enough...i hope! California wonder peppers sown 1 each...too much hassle thinning without destroying roots!

Interplanted about a dozen okra today amongst my cucumbers. I also have a 3fer butternut squash to stick somewhere and some sweet corn, green beans, and spaghetti squash seeds to plant. I figure on planting about a third each to stagger my harvests a bit with the 3 sisters! That way Im not overwhelmed and we can enjoy fresh for a longer period!

Plant them deep with just the tips above ground.
Strangely enough I’m pretty short (5’8”) with normal sized arms, lol.

Put em in the ground, lol they look ready. I used to save a few seed potatoes in a styrofoam ice chest during winter, they would be ready plant in spring . I just did 5 lbs of red this year. There all starting to boom, I have hoed up extra dirt around stems twice so far.
