The Beans

The beans are sprouting, I am very sad to announce. The rabbits hopped out this morning, and as far as they can tell, the black beans, either mung or adzuki beans, white half runner beans, greencrop beans and they think the great northern beans are sprouting so far, and they're anticipating the other beans following rather quickly. And, in even worse news, the rabbits have decided that the black bean sprout is rather attractive. They're thinking of buying a pound just so they can enjoy its looks! I wonder how many beans might be in a pound? I think they're making plans to sign me up for picking when these things start producing beans!

Bean Patch

The bean patch has been dug, I am very sad to say. It's about a food wide, circling around a six or eight foot flower bed where the bird bath is planted. I could try to do some math to work out the footage that gives them, but I'm a bit afraid to find out. They plan to hop out in a bit to start sowing bean seed. Oh, I shudder at the very thought and you don't even want to imagine how many bean seeds they have that need sowing!
