The Demise of the Beans

I'm sorry to say that most of our beans are not going to make it.

They started out really strong. Even a week ago, they were loaded with blossoms and looking pretty good in that basement window.
But they can only go so long without a drink of water, ya know?
Yes, it is totally and completely my fault!

Makes me wish we had a compost pile. 


I am doing a last-ditch effort to save the ones I can, but it may be a case of "too little, too late."

Note to self: next year, just wait and plant the beans outside.
Or, let Jacob and Becca each plant ONE because they grow so well, then plant the rest outside.

I feel a little bad about it, but honestly a little relieved, too. I'm still not sure how I'm going to harden off any survivors for garden planting.  I will no doubt have to plant more anyway.
Lesson learned.  Sorry beans.
