Trail of Tears Beans: Soaking, Potting and Planting out

Trail of Tears

• May 6th: Soaking 15 beans that Teph (Steve Dobbie) brought from California USA
• May 9th: They are sprouting so · and made bed for them. ✅
• May 10th: Erected canes but will have to protect as not within 'the fence'
• May 14th: ' 11/15
• May 16th: 14/15  🌱 Couldn't find the 15th in the pot, but there were a few that looked a bit off.
• May 19th: One died-rotted maybe too much heat under a container. 13/15 🌱 ✅
• Jun 9th: 12/13 still alive.
• Aug 18th: Forgot to mention the deer ate most of the growth but I have since 'encaged' them and they are producing, maybe only enough to sow again next year.
  

  

  
  

  

• Sept 12: Picked a few to eat, some were a bit stringy
