Gardening: Bush Green Beans Update

About a week ago, the green bean plants  started to grow these pretty purple flowers. Being that I have never grown green beans, I was surprised at how pretty the flowers were.

Then I noticed today that small green beans are now forming. They are little, but so far it appears that my first green bean planting (from seed!) is a success. I am going to weigh my crop this year so I know how much yield per plant I will get so I can balance my garden for next year. That way I get enough of what I like and just enough of the somewhat like.
