Remember a while back I did a video episode on the magic bean and how something so small as this seed can actually grow? God has put enough energy into a small been to produce a large fruit bearing plant.
One thing I talked about was how you can sprout a been under your sink and by checking them every day or so you would be able to see how the roots grow and how the bean emerges and pushes up looking for sunlight, but don’t forget it.
The bean plant growing under dark conditions have not received the sunlight needed to help them produce energy through photosynthesis. Plants absorb light, using the pigment chlorophyll, which is the reason most plants have a green color. The stalk and leaves are almost pure white.
You can grow beans in all kinds of containers like a coffee can or a teacup.
Beautiful site. I’m going to feature it in my new site “100 things To Do Before You Die – Create Your Bucket List”
Thanks – best wishes on your site.
Happy Gardening
