I'm so envious of your blueberry plants. I tried them a few years ago, but no luck. My biggest problem is that my yard is full of shade, except for the open space in the back yard where the garden is. And my husband won't let me plant a blueberry or raspberry bush right out in the middle of the yard because he doesn't want to be bothered mowing around it (I guess I can't blame him). I picked fresh blueberries at a farm on vacation last year and oh, they were the best -- big, juicy, and sweet.

I have never heard of Malibu green beans! Sounds interesting!
