This is this year's Hyacinth Bean plant. Janie from Texas sent me the seeds in May. I always plant them in the same pot next to this pole and watch to see how high it will get. Last year the vine outdid itself. It was really high and round and the blooms and beans in October were spectacular. I hope this year's vine will come "close" to last year... do I dare think "better" than last year?

I have never heard of this either. Hope we get to see the flowers? and the beans, of course.

Save me some beans, please! I want to try my luck at growing one again next year. What kind of fertilizer are you using.... the goat kind?

Janice said...

This plant is a new one to me! I love how you plant it to climb up the pole! :o) How interesting!

I want some beans, too. You've been holding back from us...LOL

My beans never arrive in time to mature. Janie in Texas has kept me supplied.~Ann
