Magic Bean Day 102 – Enough Training for My Climbing Beans

Since my magic beans have been climbing and wrapping around the water pipe pretty well, I decided to take away the training poles.  I just love the leaves.  It is awseome to see how my climbing beans have added more greens on the wall, creating a little vertical element in my balcony.

Magic Bean Day 6 – Some New Colors for My Crystal Soil

Today when I checked my magic beans, I found that the crystal soil had turned even more brownish than before, despite that I had rinsed and cleaned them two days ago. So again, I took them out for another wash. And when I poured everything from the container into the drainer and saw my...

Magic Bean Day 4 – I See Some Roots!

On Day 4, I finally could see some of the magic beans had their roots break-opened the red seed coat and got ready for more actions. And, the color of the crystal soil has changed. Some of these crystal beads have a brownish tone now. I am guessing that they are probably colored by...
