 |
|
there was a gardening thread on here a while ago, and i posted a picture of my garden. i'm wondering if any of you know anything about the hyacinth bean plant.
from information i read on the internet, the pods of the plant are supposed to grow to 3 or 4 inches before they dry up and fall off. i've been waiting for this to happen so that i can plant some more beans, but as you can see in the photo below, my first two pods have now grown longer than a soju bottle. is this normal? should i be concerned? should i have plucked them?
p.s. pretend you don't see all of those empty coke and beer bottles in the background. |

That movie scares the crap out of me!  Cant watch it without demanding to be held. But it doesn't diminish my appreciation for Chianti! 
Are you taking a poll as to whether you should pluck these beans or not? If you're just curious, maybe you should let them grow. Who's it gonna hurt? And another thing... If you have the time to make this post, you have the time to throw away all your beer and coke bottles! |

i'm not looking for a vote. i'm just wondering if anyone out there knows any more about gardening than i do (just about nothing)
anyway... those bottles can't be thrown away. right now i'm keeping water in them to water my plants with, and once i buy some more soil, i'll cut them up and use them as planters.... see below:

| Wow! Such ingenuity. I'm impressed, although... I can think of much more interesting things to grow in your greenhouse than beans! But then again, Korea is not Oregon. I bet visine costs a million dollars here anyway. |

those coke bottles look cool as planters, great idea!!
it seems you're being modest as well, obviously you have a green thumb or those beans wouldnt have grown so damn big
one more thing, do you eat that gget-nip you grow?
my dad used to grow gget-nip, gochu and hobak in our backyard- hobby and of course for consumption! |

maybe i've got a green thumb. maybe i've got a mutant bean. maybe it's just dumb luck. i don't know. this is the first time i've ever done any gardening.
as for the gget-nip, my girlfriend talked me into letter her pluck one of the leaves to eat them. it was painful to watch her do it, even though her mother (who used to grow gget-nip) told us that the leaves grow back and it's even kind of healthy for the plant. |

You need to watch out for the poisonous variety of "ggetnip", which looks exactly like the regular kind. Tastes just like it, too... until that 5th leaf. That's were all the poison's stored. Just make sure you avoid the deadly 5th leaf, or it really will be the End of the World for you.
And hey! Hey, hey, hey! Since Shawner88's homeless and shoeless these days, now's the time for you to strike at the heart of bloggerdom (dumb) with .... that's right!
The Big-Ass Bean Boy Blog!
Trust me, it's these concepts that really go places. Just like that bean you planted. I'm saying trust me, EoTW. There are tens of thousands of people -- much like the ones who've posted here -- just sitting there in dreary little offices, staring out at the smog and the cars and the asphalt and the concrete and the ajosshi pissing on the parked car and Guru pissing from his treehouse on that ajosshi. And these poor, lost people -- they're wondering if life holds nothing more than another Paris Baguette crap sandwich lunch by themselves (because they simply WILL NOT be arm-twisted into YET ANOTHER forced feeding of fishhead stew).
They NEED the BEAN BLOG!!!
You know it, I know it, and they won't be put off! They want to know it all, and they want YOU to spoonfeed them!
-- daily growth charts
-- watering & feeding schedules
-- pest control problems and cures
-- status reports on the Coke & OB empties
and most of all, Pix, PIX, PIX!!!!
Everyone's got a blog, but who reads them? This, on the other hand is a blog with a difference. I'm telling you, this idea has pet rock written all over it, EoTW! |
