the leaves of the blue lake bush beans seems to be very flexible and maneuvers itself in certain angles depending on the weather. i believe when the weather is too hot, it pulls its leaves up vertically to the ground. other times, it "opens" the leaves up horizontally to the ground.
i am interested to see how bushy (the diameter) of the plant will be.
August 2008:
so the diameter of the bush bean plant looks to be about 3ft and the height looks to fall between 2ft and 3 ft. the leaves are large and the beans grow under the leaves to shade it from the sun. once beans start to be produced, you will probably be harvesting beans every other day. for a family of 2, probably 4 plants will do (for omnivores).
these plants are really neat to watch at different parts of the day. the leaves change their position on the plant in very dramatic ways. i will try to document this one day.
