Nice!! 
But it brings to mind that I forgot to stamp RUSH on the order that I sent in a few days ago...  I got my order in two weeks from the time that I sent it off. Considering all the Drownses’ responsibilities and lack of help this summer, I think that’s pretty great. My Woods Mountain Crazy Beans had just a few popping up this morning when I went out to water. I’m excited. |

First time I have ever attempted bush beans, so I am excited to watch them grow.  Currently have 13 plants up and will be saving seed to share. 🤞 |

I've seen your okra pictures, hedgeapple, I'd wager that you will follow suit with these and be inundated with bushes laden with beans aplenty...

@bon
I set mine on the porch today and something ate big chunks out of the leaves on a couple of plants. Out of the 5 plants I have, I think 3 look fair of course the ones the leaves got chewed on are the best looking ones. Grrrr!

I have cowpeas 3 maybe 4 feet away untouched, but something just ate these bean leaves clean up.  |

I hate to see that Moose, but I know the feeling. It's very discouraging to get snookered by a bug that you can't even find.

We are getting a thorough soaking right now. Hope the beans like it.  |

Moose, I've been scrambling to get strings up for most of mine, too. I got tired yesterday, but I decided not to put it off so I can focus on other fall starts. I don't multi task well. I strung a lot of beans, but it's still not enough. Far better than last year, though.
I got my 4 Wood's Mountain Crazy beans into pots yesterday, the bean sprouts I need solely for Seed Saving. With what happened to yours, I might try to put some tulle fabric over the tops to help protect them. I need to pot mine up too, but I’m trying to give them a chance to recover from whatever is eating them. |

I just took this picture a few minutes ago. They are looking much better now. I’m thinking of transplanting either this afternoon or tomorrow.  |

Those are looking good. Will these be in containers or in the ground?
