  • The beans took about a week to come up. I watered them daily until they were about 6″ high and then less frequently after that.<\/li>\n
  • The germination rate was close to 100%.<\/li>\n
  • Somewhere around week 2, the leaves of the beans started getting eaten pretty good. I suspect cutter bees. Since they aren’t around much and are supposed to do more good than harm, I decided to just leave them and see what happened.<\/li>\n
  • As expected, the cutter bees didn’t stay around long. They did a fair amount of damage, but nothing that couldn’t be overcome.<\/li>\n
  • At about 4 weeks, the monsoons hit, and the beans started growing much faster (like everything else).<\/li>\n
  • Today, at about 6 weeks, we saw the first blooms. I had heard they would be very pretty and red. these are a dark orange. We’ll see how the others look.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
