Bush beans round one started; have been starting more pole beans

Started enough "Pencil Pod" bush beans for 9 square feet by putting them in a bowl of water today.

And, have been starting more pole beans over recent days because my first method of a big bin of vermiculite didn't work well -- most of those beans rotted.  What HAS been working well is after pre-soaking, placing them in smaller things of vermiculite, and covering with a towel for darkness.
