Well, the beans are pretty much a complete deja-vu of the outdoor pea seeding situation: The beans I sowed on May 20th are kaput.
Two of them showed themselves a few days ago, poking just out of the soil. But today when I noticed they hadn't grown at all since then and were a sickly pale colour, I checked them out and sure enough both had been chopped. So, I dug around to look for the rest, and -- no sign at all of any, except one which had germinated.
Sigh!
So, tonight I sowed round 2, inside in peat pots, just like I did with the peas. Put 3-4 lima beans per pot (will thin) and 2 yellow wax beans per pot.
Hopefully the beans will do as well as those indoor-sown peas are doing (they look great!)
