Cathy: I couldn't beat them to my pollen. By the time the blooms had opened, the bees had "stolen" all of it. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't harvest pollen, so I posted over at ABADS and was advised it was probably a bee problem, and then it was like (smack my forehead...duh). Anyway, I have lots of pods too. It'll be interesting to see if they ripen before the first frost. This morning I found one on the ground with a big hole in it from some hungry deer. I was not happy. Planted them anyway, as they were close to being "done". Anyway, great pictures!!! Gretchen
