Watered with alfalfa tea??? Just when I think I am getting the hang of this.......
My grandfather was a bean farmer in Iowa. He is probably chuckling in heaven right now!

I need to get some of my castor beans started. They do so much better if you get them started before spring and then plant them. Starting the seeds in the ground really slows them down.
Mine are popping up in planters and in the ground all over the place. Now that I think about it...they do come up in the planters alot more than the ground.
I've been contemplating on Mother Nature's methods of planting. For the most part she just scatters everything ever which way with a very haphazard approach. As you say, Randy, the castor beans are coming up everywhere. Did you plant them? No. While at Jen's and the beautiful places she took us, it was easy to see given the perfect conditions, which they are there, most anything will take root and bloom and grow huge. I would be reluctant to lay a tool down that had a wooden handle. It would be a bush or a tree by morning.
I've often said that if I left the garden alone it would self perpetuate for years to come.
