Bean Variety Photos

Introduction

The McClellan Ranch Project is located in the community gardens of the City of Cupertino at McClellan Ranch Park. The team members interface with community gardeners there on a regular basis and discuss any problems presented during work days. The objective of the project is to do trials of vegetables that the local gardeners might be able to grow. At an appropriate time during the growing cycle, the team puts on a tasting of the vegetable(s) of the year and invites the public to the tasting. The team thus provides input to the community to help them with their gardening activities. This year beans were the vegetable of choice and 19 varieties were planted (20 if you count the Kwintus seeds from 2 sources). The public field day was held on August 11, 2007. Flyers announcing the tasting were posted in a variety of locations in Cupertino and Sunnyvale. The weekly papers for Cupertino and Sunnyvale post free announcements of events on a space available basis. Our event was not in the papers this year.
