Beans in the backyard 2012, week 9

July 1

Most of the plants measured 25 inches tall on this day, and I counted at least nine fully emerged trifoliolates with more developing.

In this photo we can see blooms developing on the upper nodes of the plant, and I observed blooms on all the other nodes as well as most (all?) of the branches.  My sources inform me that the plants should continue to gain height, foliage, blooms, and eventually pods.  We'll keep watching and strive to keep you informed of all the developments.
