Garden Ornament
Here in NE indiana i was lucky enough to miss a derecho (98mph winds clocked at a local airport) south of me on monday. The storm split and i only got 2 tenths. Other surrounding counties got multiple inches of rain. No garden damage. Very blessed. The past 3 days of 97-100+ heat has doubled the size of the network beans. Yes literally doubled in 3 days! They are in moisture and have had adequate rains since i planted around May 20-22nd i cant remember. I usually plant the may 15th but was late this year. I have planted the holes in the rows and around the poles with beans saved back for that purpose, and some of them emerged in less than a week!
. The dow purple pod network variety is extremely prolific, they are already half way up the furring strip poles, only one other bean variety has even latched onto a pole and that is Rote kipflerbohne. All others will attach to poles in 2 days i imagine. ( hallados grandos, nwambili, o driscoll, and purchased from russ andromeda lima, georges bean, and major cook) The bush networks are good-excellent rating also. This year is setting up to be a good one for us in NE indiana i am sorry to hear about the cold and heat struggles elsewhere people are experiencing.
