I came home from work tonight and went around to water my tomatoes and bean seeds, and guess what I found? The bean seeds had come up out the top of the soil...they were opening up, and I suppose the action of that worked them upward, until some of them were laying on top of the soil. I made new holes and dropped them back down again! LOL. It was good for a laugh...they are very entertaining seeds! Maybe this means they will be very vigorous climbers, and hopefully proliferative too! LOL.
are you sure you didn't buy some of those mexican jumping beans?
ReplyDeleteClaude- I've been wondering...LOL!!! I betcha I will find a few more on top again tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteSounds like they are trying to escape :)
ReplyDeleteWere they growing a root? Its been a while since I've grown beans, but from what I remember, beans will push themselves out of the ground, then split in half, then leaves will emerge from the center. They look strange at first, a bean on the top of a white stalk.
ReplyDeleteDo a Google image search for bean sprout to see a few examples.
They probably have a head start now. Are these the ones you planted in the area where you wanted something climbing?

I keep having to tuck babies back into my beds too! Onions especially seem to want to go out. Sometimes I wonder if the ants are trying to steal them when I sleep.
ReplyDeleteRobert...yes they were sprouting out! I will have a look on Google!
ReplyDeleteAiyana- Yes these are what I planted on my open area of fence! They are a climbing yellow bean called Gold Rush!
Mary- LOL about the ants trying to steal while you sleep!
