It's harder to grow them now too -- heat seems to reduce pollination so you get fewer beans. We've giving up. Though Momma loves them and I love the B-52s 'Butterbean' song!

I couldn’t deny the craving after reading your article. I drove up to Josh’s Market in Mooresville and was delighted to find their big white cooler was full of bags of beans on ice. Salt, pepper and butter…yummy. Thanks for the inspiration.

Brings back good memories of shelling Lima beans in the summer. Still my favorite. I also get compliments on my sea glass Lina bean necklace, that I treasure. Thank you. Love y’all.

Love this column and butter beans! Even ford hooks! Hope you and Donna are having a fantastic summer.
