Pinto Bean in a Window
I recently tried growing a couple pinto beans in a bag for our older babies at work. One didn’t grow at all but this one did REALLY well–even to the point of blossoming! (Some may say, “Big deal!”, but this is my first time getting a blossom so I am thrilled!)
The little root system it has doesn’t look too shabby either.
Although we have a blossom and the roots look healthy, the leaves are very light, verging on yellow. I’m thinking if we want to keep it alive, it may be time for carefully transplanting it into some dirt. I have not had a huge amount of experience with this type of experiment so what would you suggest? Is it too late for transplanting? (And the bigger question: can I even get it out of the bag without killing it?!)
