Magic beans, anyone?

Johns_Gal · 04-14-2012, 07:45 PM

Weeks ago, we were planting our garden. I have four raised beds and had planted strawberries in one and was off in another one planting a few bean seeds.

I looked up and saw DS with my seed tin (I keep my packets in a tin, like for cookies) and he was carefully carrying it to the garden. There's always a handful of spilled odds and ends in there, so... yeah. I saw it coming and leapt up but didn't grab it in time, so he poured those mixed seeds all over one of the newly planted strawberries. His face lit up and he whispered that they were "Magic beans...".

Alright then. I picked up the seeds, which appeared to be mostly beans, and thought I got them all. Went back to my planting.

Well, I guess they were magic beans because after four days of rain, they're twice the height of my carefully planted and coddled ones the enxt bed over. I have a strawberry plant with seven bean seedlings, a few cucumbers, cosmos and I *think* lettuce popping out of the middle of it, and I lack the heart to kill any of them.

First things my boy planted and all that. I think tomorrow night I'll be lifting the whole mess out and attempting to redistribute.

Doesn't it always work out that way?

That's so cute! Think they'd make it if you transplanted them to another location?
