Folks love these gorgeous purple-streaked Rattlesnake Green beans because they are highly productive, thrive in hot southern climates, and offer a sweet, slightly richer flavor than standard green beans. Because they are a dual-purpose heirloom, you can harvest them young as tender, stringless snap beans, or leave them to mature into meaty, nutty dried beans.

*The purple streaks WILL disappear when cooked, leaving only a rich green color.

Summer is about to steam us like a bag of crabs.

OFFICIAL WEATHER ADVISORY: SWAMP DONKEY WATCH
ISSUED: 4:15 PM CDT — WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 2026
..SIGNIFICANT AND OPPRESSIVELY HUMID SWAMPY AIR ON THE WAY FOR NEXT WEEK...

THE FORECAST
An official Swamp Donkey Watch is now in effect for all of Alabama from Monday through next Friday.

A stark, high-pressure pattern shift is headed our way. Because of our recent wet weather pattern, there is an incredible amount of residual moisture trapped in the soil. As the sun beats down next week with fewer overall afternoon storms to cool us off, all that ground moisture is going to evaporate directly into the lower atmosphere.

WHAT TO EXPECT
The "Steaming" Effect: By Wednesday and Thursday, the air will feel exactly like a freshly opened bag of steamed crabs—thick, heavy, and boiling hot.

Peak Heat Indices: Expect heat index values to skyrocket into the 105 to 110-degree range.

Instant Sweat: Stepping outside will result in immediate, heavy sweating as your body struggles to evaporate moisture in near-saturated air, leading to a high risk of rapid overheating.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
If you have outdoor plans, hay to bale, or yard work to tackle next week, prepare now:

Shift strenuous outdoor activities to the early morning hours.

Keep the water flowing and take frequent breaks in the air conditioning.

Keep a close eye on kids, pets, and the elderly as this oppressive air mass settles in.

It’s a long story. First there were plants, then more plants, then too many plants, then hey maybe we can sell plants.

Maybe this area is a good place to sell plants! Except it floods every time it rains, because the old drain was super clogged, and the chicken houses don’t provide much shade in summer, and surprise, it’s also a little bit of a wind tunnel at times. 😳

But hey, we’ll keep working on it, and one day it will be fantastic 😍
