Re: Bush Bean Seedlings

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

all right, silly newbie question.  Don't anyone laugh.
This is my first year with a garden.  I bought bean seedlings at Home Depot 
and planted them.  The little picture on the planting stake shows nice big 
bushy bean plants with green bean pods.  My plants aren't getting very big 
but they have lots of bean pods.  PURPLE ones.
I picked one and nibbled on it.  Tastes fine.  But they're PURPLE.
Will they turn green?  Are there purple beans in the world?  Pick them or 
wait?  The leaves are sort of dark green with a purplish hue, so I'm thinking 
maybe they're supposed to be purple.
Next garden, I go to a real nursery for seeds and plants.  All I know is this 
little plastic tag has a picture of bushes and green bean pods and it says 
"Beans, bush."  
Stop laughing.
Cyn
