Jumping Beans
By July 4th they were beginning to leaf out. Bugs, slugs, or birds had their way with the cotyledons, so that some didn't make it. I planted new seeds to fill in. Now they are ready to flower. They grew fast, and are a bit leggy, fallen over. Last year they were more stout-legged, upright. I wonder if it has to do with the late planting? Either way, I'll get green beans, which to me is the essence of green food flavor. What I would like to imagine a bough of leaves tastes like to a giraffe.
