Local farmers are reporting the first frost of the season, signaling the end of the growing season for most tender plants like tomatoes, peppers and string beans!   

Amelia Tarpey,  program and publicity manger for GrowNYC Greenmarkets, said it's last call for many summer varieties. Those range from the classic green beans to dragon tongues to noodle beans. 

Right now at greenmarkets, string beans are ranging from $3 to $9 per pound, depending on the farm and the variety of bean from your classic green bean to. Amelia also highlighted shelling bean season in this episode of In Season.
