I had the boy I babysit plant it, and but didn't take pictures (MUST document it:), so I took it out of the dirt for a photo opt. The words have already started to 'melt' because of the moisture in the peat pellet. I put it back in the peat pellet.
That little puffy peat pot thing was too small
So I upped the size, and used a real pot
Wasn't long til it started growing!!!
Loves the light in the kitchen window
And here it is today: This is like a Jack and the Beanstalk Bean. I have heard the beans don't taste so good, so we are just growing it to look at. Can you see the 'I love you' on it?
Other stuff:
Yellow Kalachoe
Old fashion redish Kalachoe

Great great stuff here! I thought I was the only person with plants in the bathtub!!
I've never seen one of those beans. I'm sure he'll love watching it grow. Love seeing everyones blooms and knowing it won't be long now! Jean
Wow--you ARE Blooming! I have never seen one of those bean thingies---who knew??!! And thanx for thinking of me with the whole chicken cordon bleu recipe--tee-hee--seriously!
I like how you put seeds in those little bags of dirt. YOu better get ready to transplant if they all come up. Your grandchildren are beautiful. Hugs, Rosemarie
Peach blossoms???? No fair!
Both the indoor and outdoor plants are thriving right now. Optimum conditions, as spring is when they all feel the urge to push forth. So happy to see new things each morning. Makes me smile for sure!

Wow.....
My thumb is 'bout as green as the night sky!
Wow you have agreen thumb! I bought one of those beans and it never grew! I can see the I love you on yours!
Your plants are looking real good and the peach blossoms--oh, so pretty! The bath-tub is a great idea!
Beautiful plants. I enjoyed looking at them.
Love the bean! You already have seeds started???? I want to start some so bad, but I need to wait until almost the end of the month. Otherwise they stop thriving before they can go outside.
Love your plants!
I love it! Where did the bean come from? It would make such a nifty science project! We currently have seedlings started in their little greenhouses, so I'll be transferring them next week, hopefully!
Spring is such a magical time!
I l♥ve the frog :)
I don't know how you take such good care of all those plants. You have such a green thumb. We've got potatoes in the garage from the garden last year. I've stopped using them because they've started to get soft and they are growing eyes like crazy. I told my husband that I wished it was time to plant potatoes, I would just use them for the seed potatoes.
you have some lovely plants. love the bean tree
I came by the other day and saw this but I couldn't comment I am having trouble with the inter-net it comes n goes. I was going to post you inspired me. I have a makeshift greenhouse too in my hall bathroom. I have beens growing and I think they are Jack's! I'll try to post tomorrow for show and tell. Thanks for coming by for a visit.
Blessings,

I've never seen a bean with a message on it. Wonder what kind of bean? It's hard to tell. I remember well the first time I planted a bean in a jar and was taken with the 'miracle' sprout. I must have been about 4. I bet that little boy is thrilled.
Hope spring arrives soon for you!
Aiyana
Just gorgeous. Don't come to my blog and read Just Call Me Mortisha..oh my....LOL
Wow! You have quite the green thumb! And I have to say: I've never even heard of beans with words on them:)
You have a green thumb! Looks like you're ready for Spring.
Kathy
That's quite a green thumb that you have.
I've never seen a bean with writing on it. Pretty cool.
Brenda
The frog planter is too cute! Love the bean too:) Have a great day!
Gina Jo
You are growing a lot! And successfully. I've never seen the word beans before. Very cool.
I came looking for your Camera Critters post!
oh goody another real plant lover Sandy
I've never seen anything like this! How unique....this really would make a wonderful gift! Thanks for sharing it!
Elaine :)
Great photos! I don't have a green thumb at all, so our house doesn't have flowers around. I do have a rose bush in the backyard in memory of my beloved Golden Retriever Adonis. They do grow, until the scum neighbors steal them. Grrrrrr
