Greetings, everyone! My beans have been growing explosively. Pictured above is the cranberry bean, which is now in bloom! It has many white flowers with a hints of pink. It is also the second biggest plant.
The biggest, or longest is what I should say, is the comba bean. In the last update, I had latched it onto the the shade drawstring and now it has outgrown the windowsill. Hopefully it will produce normal sized beans. Last time I grew a pole bean in a container it yielded small beans, though that might have been because it wasn't getting enough water.
I've been making sure to water them frequently this year. In other news, I've discovered that the Great Northern bean is a bush type. Maybe this was obvious but I've never grown them so I had to test one out. I got it from a bag that ripped at Walmart.
The beans that my neighbor Wang gave me are growing too (not pictured). I don't have to water those anywhere near as often as the rest despite being in the full sun on the south-facing window.
I finally got around to starting some beans to plant outdoors.
I picked the biggest kidney beans I had along with some relatively large hybrid pinto beans and the last great northern beans. These bush beans will be surrounding some Roma tomatoes that we will be planting. I'm hoping for a 100% germination rate. Wish me luck!
That's all, folks. Have a nice day!
