BEANS et al.

Tonight's dinner will be our fourth to include Phaseolus Vulgaris, which loosely translates as 'common beans', giving them no credit whatsoever for the effort they and the sun expended in making them green first and then converting them to purple. The two on the far right are victims of the birds so I'll dry them out and use the seeds next season.
Their taste is nuttier than a phaseolus vulgaris viridis. 








Their tiny flowers are a beautiful, pinky  violet.



The spinach is thriving and will probably appear in tomorrow night's salad. some parsley and possible thyme seeds have sprouted and will need thinning. A capsicum seed has found its way into the middle of the mix along with 'what I thought was going to be sage' but is a mystery plant with purple flowers.

Tomorrow I am enrolled in a Shibori class at North Sydney Community Centre so I have found a variety of fabrics to take along and inject with another life.

The eight white napkins might end up in a quilt. 

The blue silk?????

The remaining pieces are calico and homespun.
