a old friend of mine (many years ago now) put some in green jello (the great midwestern jello salad binder for almost anything) and said it was ok. he was in a very poor time of his life and that was what he had on hand.

Cardinal started chirping this morning. Sunny and warmer will get them going.

first of all get your light consistent and then check white balance and see how that looks and then go from there. however, i have a hard time getting what i consider decent bean pictures. i had a friend with a very good camera set up take some of my beans to get pictures with and he decided...

i don't worry about it too much here. i don't really consider Purple Dove to have the sprawl habit as it doesn't get beyond a few feet tall and most of the pods are not hitting the dirt. i also have pretty tough conditions and a lot of Japanese Beetle feasting going on and so far PD keep...

while wondering the internet and curious about the recent (and on-going rains) were showing up in the LA River (aka checking out webcams) i came across Bending the River and then Not a Cornfield and other interesting projects and ideas all related to: https://www.metabolicstudio.org/about

note there is a habit called sprawl which is not bush or semi-runner or pole. that is, it gets long but it does not climb or wrap around supports or strings.

wow @baymule so sorry for the back problem, but very glad your son is able to help out. assuming Max is new doggie, no, Max is a horse. :) :hugs

a six foot tall chunk of fencing is my preference because then i can see how high they'll get. i often just find out when i plant them as bush beans and then have some sprawl all over the neighbors, which isn't the best approach but it happens. the extra fun happens when i get a pole outcross...

when you grow up without parents or with parents without healthy boundaries it can be a challenge to figure it out later.

you seemed to have done well there for yourself. consider it accomplished and give yourself some pats on the back. :)

so far i can only come up with recommendations on what not to plant (no blueberries or other berry plants). i was thinking thyme or rosemary, but those are more arid loving plants and may not do well where you are located. hmm... i've not had to think much about plants of this type in a long...

i went back to sleep after breakfast and then pretended to sleep for a while longer because i didn't want to get up and clean. then i decided that was silly and i was going to do something else today, which i've accomplished, so that helps. :) no coffee required.

does she obey "sit" and "stay" ?

to independently verify where various plants might have been you can sometimes get sedimentation cores from any lakes that may have been in an area and then look for pollen. in an arid region this may be a challenge, but still something to consider if "you are in the field". The Dead Sea being...

solid ice may take a bit longer to melt than snow. when i lived up north the shoreline of Lake Superior would build up piles of ice that could stick around into the summer months. one time kayaking along the shore there were piles of ice still melting under some trees on the 4th of July.

we have freezing fog in the forecast for tonight and tomorrow morning.

yes. i'm sure they were magnificent and terrifyingly beautiful...

in compacted clay my beans don't often get extra large. i'm pretty sure it was about the same size as the others i grew in rows next to it (i grew four rows right next to each other to do the comparison, Purple Dove, Purple Rain, Purple Diamond and Purple Rose). Purple Dove also can do that...

a smart guy and another of my heroes. :) he wrote about worms too... :)
