Knowing the difference between pole and bush lima beans (Phaseolus lunatus) is essential before starting the seeds in your garden. Hardy to U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 6 to11, these beans differ in yield and growing methods, which might make you prefer one over the other. (See References 1) Regardless of which type you grow, both are a nice addition in soups, stews and casseroles. About the Yield Bush and pole limas differ in that bush limas mature about 10 to 15 days earlier. The crops are produced all at once, making them ideal for freezing, and they mature in just 65 to 75 days. Pole limas produce a small amount each day and will continue to do so until the frost, as long as you harvest regularly. It takes pole beans about 85 to 110 days to mature. (See References 2 and 3) Although bush types tend to require less work, pole types produce more. A 10-foot row of bush beans can yield about 8 pounds, while a 10-foot row of pole beans can yield about 15 pounds. (See References 4, p. 84) Different Growing Habits One of the big difference between bush and pol...

Rates of exchange between cacao and the gold and silver coinage of the Spanish Crown—but the amounts fluctuated with the cacao availability and changes in the value of metallic currency.
In the short stories, Marigolds by Eugenia Collier, and The Bet by Anton Chekhov, both Lizabeth and the Lawyer, along with their understanding of life, are similar, as well as very different.

Initially, the first jelly bean was created in the early 1800s by an unknown American candy maker. However, one can trace back the beginnings of their production process to 17th century France. The French made Jordan Almonds, sugar glazed almonds, by a process called panning, which is now used to make the hard-sugar coating on jelly beans. Panning is the rocking of a desired item in a container filled with syrup and sugar until it forms a hard candy shell. By the mid-1800s jelly beans had become very popular in the United States. An 1861 advertisement, even recommended sending jelly beans to soldiers fighting in the Civil War. The most popular jelly bean distributer soon became The Herman Goelitz Candy Company (established in 1869), today known as The Jelly Belly Candy Company. Originally, jelly beans were sold by weight and flavor then taken home in paper bags; but beginning in 1976, the Jelly Belly Company created pre-mixed and assorted flavored bags. The eight original mixed flavors were: Root Beer, Very Cherry, Cream Soda, Green Apple, Grape, Lemon, Licorice, and Tangerine. Today, The Jelly Belly Company has one hundred and thirty-three flavors and is constantly adding to their wide assortment.
Take cuttings for clones before you move plants from vegetative grow area to the flowering area. Low branches are cut to increase air circulation under the green canopy. Rooted clones are moved to the vegetative growth area, and new clones are started in the cloning area using the low branch cuttings. Each cycle of growth will take from 4-8 weeks, so you can constantly be growing in 3 stages, and harvesting every 6-8 weeks.
This bean is native to the South American origin and comes from a small tropical tree in which the seeds are fermented and then used to make the cocoa powder that we use to make chocolate (Brill, Janet Bond, 162).

Pod size ranges from 15-30 mm in length, 7-14 mm in thickness, and 2-15 mm in width. Depending on the basal and apical zones as well as the dorsal and ventral regions, pod shape varies from rhomboid, oblong to ovate. The number of seeds per pod ranges from 1-2, with the maximum being three. The seeds are ramhead or owl's-head shaped, and the surface may be smooth or wrinkled. The length of the seed ranges from 4-12 mm and its width from 4-8 mm. The seed mass varies from 0.10 to 0.75 g per seed. The seeds of kabuli type are large (100 seed mass >25 g), round or ram head, and cream colored. The plant is medium to tall in height, with large leaflets and white flowers, and contains no anthocyanin, whereas the seeds of the desi type are small and angular in shape. The seed color varies from cream, black, brown, yellow to green. There are 2-3 ovules per pod but on an average 1-2 seeds per pod are produced. Chickpea seeds germinate at an optimum temperature (28-33°C) and moisture level in about 5-6 days. Germination begins with absorption of moisture and swelling of the seed. The radicle emerges first followed by the plumule.
