Last week I picked up a sack of peat pots and a pack of scarlet runner bean seeds at the local gardening supply store. Back home I rehydrated the pots and planted the seeds. The animals gathered 'round to watch, just to make sure that nothing sprouted while they weren't looking.

Now the bean plants are putting out their first leaves, and their sturdy white roots have punched through the bottoms of the soon-to-be-too-small peat pots. Next step: planting the beans in a new 25 gallon plastic tub on the deck.

Apparently I am now part of some flaky back-to-the-land urban agricultural movement, though probably the only member to have successfully incubated and hatched beans with the help of stuffed cats.
