July 20th Germination September 4th first bloom September 14th Bean pods form Anyone want any snap beans. Hahahahaaa! These babies are T-90. That’s my slang for tiny. It sure took them long enough. I wasn’t sure if they were going to make or not. Still ain’t sure, but at least we ain’t sitting still.

hmoosek, Good going! Thanks for using the self-cracking code for me, I never would have figured out what T-90 meant...

I have quite a few pods in both buckets, I also have grasshoppers galore. I just hope they save a few for me!

If you think your seed crop is in danger, do you think the plants could handle being covered with five gallon paint strainer bags? I picked some up last year to isolate a pepper plant after someone here shared a video with that technique. I know people also use tulle fabric to keep insect pests away, but I was thinking that a paint strainer bag might work well for a potted plant.

I’m almost embarrassed to post this. The grasshoppers put a hurt on these. I picked 3 pods and every bean except this one had been eaten half away. I’ve got a few more pods to dry, but man they are not a good example. These pods had 4 beans to the pod, but I see a few that have two. If I’m lucky, I’ll recoup the 6 seeds I started with.

The variety still has a chance if you got those 6 seeds back. I know how you feel, but at least you have something to start with next year. Considering how devastating grasshoppers can be, I think you have done well to break even...

Sometimes that how it goes. At least you have renewed seed.

2 more beans today, so half way there. Baby Steps it is.
Isn’t it amazing how small victories can bring such joy.
