To Bean or be a Bean... that is a question

Ok. Call us farmers now.



FARMERS.



We're trying our hand at planting veggie seeds and seeing if they'll grow or not. Radishes suck majorly. Have em in a planter with Miracle Grow. You'd think that, with having Miracle Grow in the soil that, we'd have some kick'n ass radishes!



NOT.



All we got are a bunch of little nats, that have taken up home in the soil and the plants them self's? It's already been 3 months since we planted them so, surely there would be radishes in the soil by now and ready for picking. Nope. Nada. Zilch. The Basil looks good (not 100 %) healthy looking mind you, but their doing OK.


Now the lone Lima bean that I planted is kicking ass ALL THE WAY! Go figure. I started it by leaving it in the sink over night in a lid with water in it and saw that it had opened up and started to sprout. COOL! Beans are on the way. Next! Planted it in a small seed starter pot (1 inch high) and placed it with our other herbs that we have started in a small tub with a lid. 3 days later... I opened the lid and, I swear that I heard that plant go "BONG!" and up it thrusted itself up out of the tub, reaching for the sunlight. It was most amazing. Damon didn't believe me til he looked at it himself and was shocked. So it now sits in a 2 liter bottle.
