Small Miracle.

Beans! Beans! A magical fruit....

Seems it has finally happened. I noticed a week or so ago these little green nubs where the flowers fell off. I thought they were probably beans, but I didn't want to presume anything until I was sure. So they have steadily grown over the past couple weeks, and more flowers have popped up too.

The plant continues to grow, and it is starting to lean a bit too. I think I may need to tie it off to the ceiling! Hmmm...now the big question. How to process the beans?

Daryn,

did you have to pollinate the flowers at all? I know for some inside plants you would have to use a brush on each flower. Of course, outside this would normally be done by insects.

Hi Troy. The flowers gave off lots of white dusty pollin. I just gave the tree a little shake now and then and presto!
