Bean Update

Sorry, I couldn't fit the baby into this picture of Shield beans, as it's about 3 feet up the plant.  It appears that my beans have an ailment.  Some fungus or parasite or virus is turning the leaves a lacy yellow.  It's kind of pretty, but I don't think its healthy....  Fortunately it's got good size pods on it, so I'm hopeful that some sort of crop will work out.  

And planning for the fall, I've planted a row of red carrots next to the Calypso beans.  They seem to take so long to germinate that we'll probably have the beans harvested and out before the carrots turn up.
