Lifecycle of the bean: Day 39

We have got really stuck with these beans, ’cause they’re so tall they started to droop over! Mom went over the moon when I showed her and insisted we buy big canes (at first I thought she was going to whack them for growing so fast.) But as we went to the nursery she explained [...]

Spider Top Trumps

I was unwillingly forced to do these top trumps by my mom. She wanted them for work as she has to make some random classwork science stuff. They actually are quite good though. And I learnt lots of cool things about spiders. I hope you enjoy them, cut them out and they make cool cards!

Lifecycle of the bean: Day 31

 Here I am, still watering the beans after 31 days. I water them about twice a week, except if it’s sunny – then I water them a bit more (but it’s not, because it’s winter and freezing cold and rainy). Mr Bean is catching up in the height race. Can you see he’s nearly as tall as Human [...]

Lifecycle of the bean: Day 25

Now it is quite a few days after we planted the beans in a big pot… Would you believe it, there are actually 10 beans in there!!! The biggest bean you can see Mom has  named Mrs Bean, even though I was going to name it human bean, because it’s growing to the size of [...]

Lifecycle of the bean: Day 19

NOOOOOOOO!!!!! I woke up this morning and this is what I found: Mr Bean’s root has turned black! This is exactly what happened to the other bean whose root rotted… Both of these were broad beans. Yet all the kidney beans are fine. Have a look at this one: I think that the two broad [...]

Lifecycle of the bean: Day 17

I just looked at the beans today,and Mr Bean has grown spikes off his main root. It looks like big spiky tail. The leaves on Mr Bean are getting bigger and more unlike any leaf I have ever seen. Mr Bean is a broad bean so the leaves and roots are different from the kidney [...]

Lifecycle of the bean: Day 13

Help!!! a bean is dying, get it to the hospital, its root is rotting!   I can’t understand why this poor broad bean has to die… Do you guys know why the root has started to rot?  Please tell me if you do. Check how the leaf curls when it grows out of this bean.  This [...]

Lifecycle of the bean: Day 11

Mr Bean is in one of the two smallest jars, so I’m moving him to a really big peanut butter jar. Look at how he’s growing now. The growth looks really gross, but the leaves look cool.  Look how long the root is now.  

Lifesycle of the bean: Day 10

  Some more of those beans are beginning to sprout, some of them are actually quite big! This bean is bigger than all the others, so I’m calling him Mr Bean.  I wonder why he is so big, when I watered them all equally?    The green shoot is trying to grow upwards and the root is [...]

Life cycle of the bean: day 8

These are the first big broad beans that have sprouted. the other broad beans are still in their little red shells (bomb shells ? Take cover!!!)
