There’s something so intriguing and otherworldly about growing beans.

Best friend in France sent me a pack of organic borlotti beans, (not from France, from a UK seed company) and I popped some into seed compost five days ago in the growing room in the caravan, not hoping for much, to be honest.
They germinated within two days, splitting the soil and unfurling huge, robust stems. It was seriously like watching a triffid grow. I could almost see them get bigger by the hour.

After four days all of them had leaves. They’re sitting there now, waving their stems about, looking a bit menacing… 😊
I think I’ve hatched mandrake babies by mistake. Someone get me some ear defenders..

There is a reason why native American people considered beans sacred and magical. Probably because they noticed the same thing you have (maye without the blue grow light though).

I had no idea that they did. There really is nothing new under the sun! I don’t mind being a few millennia behind the curve 😊
