Meanwhile on the windowsill...

The oldest Lillooet pods are filling up nicely with seeds.



Peau de Vache Normande - it was supposed to be a bush bean but it started climbing. I think I planted a crossed seed, although I got information that this bean may not be completely stable.



Quaker Bush



Buddha's Bellybutton

Those are beautiful plants. What size pots are you growing them in and what is the pole they are climbing on?

@Bluejay77, beans grow in 3-4 liter pots. Poles are usually hazel sticks, nothing special. Generally, I don't plant pole beans in pots, but when a plant starts to climb, it's a pity to throw it away

Beans going well. They're getting bigger than I expected, but I'm fine with that.

And my little experiment in growing Tezier French fillet beans indoors was a success as well. 4/8 plant survived, and are now flowering and producing lovely green snap beans. Me and the bunny have only had a couple of beans each, so not what you would call a bumper crop but very cool considering they are in my basement in containers the size of a solo cup. I will definitely try growing small green snap beans indoors again, perhaps during the winter months. Thanks for the inspiration Artorius!

In winter, beans grown indoors may not get enough light.

Little late @flowerbug but I did finally get to taking a pic of the Mongeta's - this is a teaspoon. Couldn't find the graph paper!
