Ah, the best laid plans of mice & men! Thought I'd watch a movie while my beans soaked, but I fell asleep! They ended up soaking 12 hours & one had popped. Now eveybodys nestled warm & snug, inside tank on mat, covered with foil untill they break the soil. So excited! Hard to resist the urge to check every half hour! Hard not to be an obsessive moma after having entire crop ripped this year. Just let me catch a thief! I'll smack 'em with my cane & then bite 'em to death! I would have sucked up my loss, knowing it was my gamble had I planted else where, but it was in my wooded back yard, surrounded by fence, & clearly on MY property! Shows intent to rob ME, personally! I'll stop now or I'll be ranting. Slow deep breaths, think pleasant thoughts... of my new grow!!!!! Time to get back to the happy dance!


P.S. forgot to say: (BG X BB) X BG! Sweet!
