Knowing the difference between pole and bush lima beans (Phaseolus lunatus) is essential before starting the seeds in your garden. Hardy to U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 6 to11, these beans differ in yield and growing methods, which might make you prefer one over the other. (See References 1) Regardless of which type you grow, both are a nice addition in soups, stews and casseroles. About the Yield Bush and pole limas differ in that bush limas mature about 10 to 15 days earlier. The crops are produced all at once, making them ideal for freezing, and they mature in just 65 to 75 days. Pole limas produce a small amount each day and will continue to do so until the frost, as long as you harvest regularly. It takes pole beans about 85 to 110 days to mature. (See References 2 and 3) Although bush types tend to require less work, pole types produce more. A 10-foot row of bush beans can yield about 8 pounds, while a 10-foot row of pole beans can yield about 15 pounds. (See References 4, p. 84) Different Growing Habits One of the big difference between bush and pol...

Throughout the Colonial era many market and wage transactions were conducted with cacao beans. For example: one good hen is worth 100 full cacao beans, a turkey cock is worth 200 cacao beans, each hare is 100 cacao beans, and a turkey egg is 3 cacao beans. Rates of exchange between cacao and the gold and silver coinage of the Spanish Crown—but the amounts fluctuated with the cacao availability and changes in the value of metallic currency.
The tobacco crop goes through a long and tedious process before it is ultimately ready to become a Cuban Cigar. The first step in the process is to prepare the beds for the tobacco seedlings. After the beds are made, the tobacco seeds are planted. The next step involves topping the plants and removing the suckers. This is done to increase the vitality of the plants. After about 2 ½ to 3 months, the plant reaches maturity and is then harvested. The tobacco crop is harvested leaf by leaf.
Most microgreens take about two to three weeks after being being planted to be harvest, it is best to grow plants with the similar harvest times so the plants are not disturbed when harvesting the others. Once a plant has been harvest it will not grow anymore, which means you need to start the process over again but replanting. Some may ask what would you use microgreens for and the answer is anything you would like, many people add them to salads, sandwiches or stir-fry.
Initially, the first jelly bean was created in the early 1800s by an unknown American candy maker. However, one can trace back the beginnings of their production process to 17th century France. The French made Jordan Almonds, sugar glazed almonds, by a process called panning, which is now used to make the hard-sugar coating on jelly beans. Panning is the rocking of a desired item in a container filled with syrup and sugar until it forms a hard candy shell. By the mid-1800s jelly beans had become very popular in the United States. An 1861 advertisement, even recommended sending jelly beans to soldiers fighting in the Civil War. The most popular jelly bean distributer soon became The Herman Goelitz Candy Company (established in 1869), today known as The Jelly Belly Candy Company. Originally, jelly beans were sold by weight and flavor then taken home in paper bags; but beginning in 1976, the Jelly Belly Company created pre-mixed and assorted flavored bags. The eight original mixed flavors were: Root Beer, Very Cherry, Cream Soda, Green Apple, Grape, Lemon, Licorice, and Tangerine. Today, The Jelly Belly Company has one hundred and thirty-three flavors and is constantly adding to their wide assortment.
Pod size ranges from 15-30 mm in length, 7-14 mm in thickness, and 2-15 mm in width. Depending on the basal and apical zones as well as the dorsal and ventral regions, pod shape varies from rhomboid, oblong to ovate. The number of seeds per pod ranges from 1-2, with the maximum being three. The seeds are ramhead or owl's-head shaped, and the surface may be smooth or wrinkled. The length of the seed ranges from 4-12 mm and its width from 4-8 mm. The seed mass varies from 0.10 to 0.75 g per seed. The seeds of kabuli type are large (100 seed mass >25 g), round or ram head, and cream colored. The plant is medium to tall in height, with large leaflets and white flowers, and contains no anthocyanin, whereas the seeds of the desi type are small and angular in shape. The seed color varies from cream, black, brown, yellow to green. There are 2-3 ovules per pod but on an average 1-2 seeds per pod are produced. Chickpea seeds germinate at an optimum temperature (28-33°C) and moisture level in about 5-6 days. Germination begins with absorption of moisture and swelling of the seed. The radicle emerges first followed by the plumule.
The crop is harvested when the plants turn golden-yellow, the leaves dry, and the capsules become brown and the seeds shiny. If fiber is also desired, the crop is harvested at the stage of capsule maturity when the crop is still green. In Sindh, the crop is harvested at the end of April and in the Punjab during the first week of May. The harvested crop is threshed either by bullocks or by beating it with sticks. After separation, the seeds are dried in the sun and then stored.
Take cuttings for clones before you move plants from vegetative grow area to the flowering area. Low branches are cut to increase air circulation under the green canopy. Rooted clones are moved to the vegetative growth area, and new clones are started in the cloning area using the low branch cuttings. Each cycle of growth will take from 4-8 weeks, so you can constantly be growing in 3 stages, and harvesting every 6-8 weeks.
This bean is native to the South American origin and comes from a small tropical tree in which the seeds are fermented and then used to make the cocoa powder that we use to make chocolate (Brill, Janet Bond, 162). It is filled with many antioxidants that offers many benefits to the brain and the body in general to improve everyday functions (Marano, Ham Estroff).
