The container ones grew faster and gave more in smaller place, probably due to warmer roots. Your bean seeds are very beautiful - as nice as a flower.<br /><br />Getting the seeds from the compost bin is like something I would do. I have a number of plants and trees that started in a similar way. I take a lot of pride in those.

I hope the bush form give you as much beans as I have. Besides the gopher damage taking half of the numbers of plants it gave me more then I can eat and friends asking for it every yr. http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b499/lancegreen1/DSCF7876_zps157e4367.jpg<br />The rounded cream color with brown swirls is the pole romano. The purple one is the Scarlett runners and the others are store bough seeds which I completely forgot to log in the variety names. One of them is the purple romano which doesn't yield well and when you cook it the bean color change back to green.<br />Romano pole is my favorite and the seeds that I got is from a compost bin from another community garden. Often in life the best things are FREE!lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657961543274999017noreply@blogger.com
