I forgot to mention that a few weeks back I threw some vine type kentucky
green bean seeds in some compost. A few grew (and a couple of cucumbwers ,
too). I transplanted the small bean plants (maybe 6 " with 2-3 leaves each.
To sunnier spots. I know they are not winter plants, but what the h*ll, this
is phoenix, you never know...........bobford


p.s. My wife is planting sweetpeas and other winter coloir plants today.
Flowers are also nice............bf
