Scarlet runner beans

I've got a boy that eats beans and these pink ones are so cool. Not so pretty after cooking... We'll see how they taste!

Beet Seeds

Last week I soaked beet seeds overnight, then set them in a wet paper towel for about a day and a half. The first root shoots were poking out when I planted them and they were up in 2 more days. Definite time saver.

So I planted around September 1, they should be ready by November 1? We'll see!

January 27th update: Forget about it. I don't know if it was the temperature or lack of light or groundhogs, but those things never got taller than 4 inches. September 1 is way too late.
