So excited to begin another bean garden. These beans are sweet and tender, and so cute!  |

As you can see, I had no trouble with the first 3plants coming up, but I did with the other 4. I think my problem is that I don’t understand which direction to place the bean seeds to make the root go down and the stem come up. So I germinated more seeds in a paper towel and waited to transplant until I could see the root well enough. The new crop is coming along just fine   |

More growth in just a few days! I lost one but am not going to replant given there is already a disparity.  |

Pretty soon I’ll have wee beans starting to form. This was yesterday, day 23 for the original 3 plants. I’ve had to raise the hood for those already.  |

very healthy looking plants, Mary! How are you going to trellis if they need it? Any thoughts?

But, that may be because they got sick and I had to terminate them after the first bits of harvesting, so maybe they didn’t reach full height. We’ll see! |

I think I used hot pot chop sticks.

I used chop sticks, too. It works pretty well. Don't use the shorter ones. I also bought some wooden dowels to try for next time. You can trim those to size.

Oh that’s right, I remember that now that you mention the dowels. I went ahead and ordered the dowels and my garden died before I could use them. What did you use to cut them down to size? Here is the the size of the garden as of a few days ago (Monday?), I believe at day 27. I raised the hood for the 2nd time. I have lots of buds but no babies yet.  |

I gave the plants a big trim of the biggest leaves. The plants were getting so fat with leaves that they were pushing each other over, because I don’t have them staked for support. Once they were trimmed, I turned them each to have them lean on each other and the post for support.  I have have lots of baby beans. This is the most mature and is pretty much ready to snap off for a snack.  |
