Beans on the Move

I planted Kentucky Wonder beans five days ago, pretty much as a lark. Now I have huge bean plants, four inches tall. I swear, you can walk away and come back in an hour and see the difference. I wish tomatoes grew that fast.

Here's a question. What does it mean if there is a little yellow in a bean leaf?

I went to the grocery today and made couple of discoveries. First, Matouk's has a new sauce. They call it picante. I had to try it. It seems sort of like their other papaya-and-Scotch-bonnet sauce, but it's not sweet. I'd do a side-by-side comparison, but I don't want to set my face on fire.

Matouk's makes great hot sauces for people who like hot sauce but don't want to explode. Much tastier than American-style hot sauce, too.

My other discovery? Scotch bonnets! Not the suspiciously habanero-looking ones I stole seeds from a couple of weeks ago. The weird-looking, multicolored REAL Scotch bonnets we are so used to here in Miami. I'm planting a bunch of seeds today.

I bit into one to see what it was like, and it was very nice. Fruity and sweet. Could have used more acidity. And not so hot it was unbearable.

Here's a tip. When you're tasting peppers, keep sour cream and a spoon handy. It will kill the heat pretty quickly.

I have twenty or thirty seeds lying on the counter in the kitchen. When the rain lets up, I'll go stick them in the ground. You just can't have too many peppers, right? Of course right.

I should swipe seeds from the others in the package and dry them.

Anyway, thanks in advance for any bean info you can provide.
