I also like runner beans, they are my highest yielders, but grow a lot of regular beans too. I also grow a lot of squash, some capsicum in pots, and turnips, collards, kale, and winter radishes I start in summer for the cool season garden which I can harvest all winter and into spring. The frugal part of me hates to see all the little eggs just go to waste, they really pile up.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-51446442880887759022013-12-04T09:27:50.484-08:002013-12-04T09:27:50.484-08:00Hannah, your seed growing is great, here I do seed...Hannah, your seed growing is great, here I do seeds in our glasshouse from about October, no lighting or heating, and do zucchini, runner beans, chives, beetroot, capsicum, lettuce, spinach, and when they get a little larger go outside onto another area that is sheltered. The eggs so tiny, I would call them "eggies" as akin to "chickies" small, delicate, and you are so brave to eat them.

The dropper watering helps with the tiny seedlings. I even tried Giberellic acid (GA3), a plant growth hormone or auxin, last year with some success. The winter-sowing people seem to have a high success rate, I tried that one year with the milk jugs. One daisy didn't grow the first year but sat there and sprouted the second year<br /><br />The finches are two females, if there were a male I shudder to think how many offspring there might be. Most birds stop laying when they reach a certain clutch size but the finches don't seem to know about that, and now that I am removing the eggs, so.....?Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-72300718477802724922013-12-03T10:18:50.437-08:002013-12-03T10:18:50.437-08:00Thanks, Leovi, you are so kind.

I had to eat Mexican, Thai, or Chinese to get rice. Wheat underwent a bad mutation in the past that made it harmful for some, one estimate is 80-90% of the population, they just don't know it.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-78511464273591407312013-12-03T10:18:20.231-08:002013-12-03T10:18:20.231-08:00Your Pelargonium photos are gorgeous!
