beans

i was working in the back yard and found myself in need of some supplies so i went off to the big box home improvement store's garden center and stopped off at the bean field along the way...if you look closely enough in that monochromatic landscape you might just detect some "weeds" poking up through the bean canopy...but no volunteer corn to be seen since the spraying...this os unfortunate from my point of view since volunteer corn and its reproductive capacities are of some interest to me...and even though the beans are blooming and some are sprouting pods they aren't terribly riveting attention wise...or at least won't be until after harvest and we have a look to see how many of the missed beans germinate in a suicidal attempt to grow before winter...you'd think there'd be a dormant period...like "natural" seeds...but we aren't dealing with those.
