Confession
I have a confession to make about gardening and vegetables. Up until very recently I must admit ( I am so embarrassed) that I thought a pole bean was named that because it looked like a pole..... A string bean was named that because it had strings as you snapped it, and a bush bean was named that because...Heck I don't know. I DID NOT KNOW that a pole bean was named that because it vined on a POLE, a string bean because it grew up STRINGS, and a bush bean was just that...a bean plant that grew in a BUSH. The reason I am sharing this is because I KNOW there are others out there like me. Totally ignorant of veggie lingo mumbo jumbo. There....I admitted it to the world.

LOL! But you know what I didnt know any of that either. And i'll bet you are right that a lot of other people dont either. I know I was called a "bean pole" as a child because I was straight up and down skinny. Sure wish I could be called that now! Do they have a 'roly-poly bean' out there?
I had a friend, that when young and at a slumber party called up someone from the phone book with the last name BEAN. They sang "there are green beans, kidney beans navy beans, what kind of bean are youuuuuuu?"
