Spring 2009 - Take 1

I live in Encinitas, CA some three miles inland from the majestic Pacific coastline. At 7am or so, Moonlight beach looks like this all year. So, by Valentine's day, encouraged by the bright Californian sun, I welcomed spring into 2009 and started pole beans in flats.

Some twenty four sprouted beans in pretty potting soil and two long weeks of assuring Jenny and Rachel that I will deliver bean saplings in short order - not a shade of green to save my life. Just when I about to blame the stale seeds or the seven months they spent in my freezer, one little bean popped his bald head pushing out a mound of peat moss. It was a reminder in "adaptation" for me.
