I think what you planted was them "French Fillet" beans and you are out there stumbling around in the dark talking to them in an off version of English with a south Florida drawl. It aint working, Bob.

BocaBob--you missed my guess of 37 pounds (on 4/6/09). I want to win those stackers!! LOL

sorry, just added you in.(maybe a lucky omen?)

I had 42 but Pugzley stole it. But that's alright, she and I will just divide the stacker pots evenly if we win. Lets see........seven pots......I get 4 and she can have 3. Thats fair.

You already have all the pots in potland now Jay.

that is such an amazing idea where did you get the pots

No, Jaywhacker, you have to cut that odd pot in half for it to be fair.

My guess is 117# but I think the total will be higher.

P.S. A cashew nut tree which I started from seed last year is blooming!!!

I'm guessing 81.5, don't know why that number, but I sure would love to have a set of those stackables. I have them on my wish list now. going to talk my sons into buying me some, I hope. going to talk anyway. lol Here in n.e. florida where my soil is nothing but clay, these would help out greatly in growing lots of things.
Is beans all you have grown in them?
BocaBob I love reading your posts.

that is amazing I have never heard of a tree blooming in one year they usually nut and fruit trees take minimum 3 to 5 years to bloom

I am going to see able finding them in my area I think I have seen them before
but I would only put two seeds in each one and thin down to one with so many you must have to fertilize often to keep the plants happy

mcrochet

Currently in stacking planters I am growing Lettuce, bush beans, purple bush beans, black eyed peas, English peas, collars, tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, cantaloupe, and watermelon

that is amazing will have to get lots of them since my vegi garden needs to much work to plant there this year the neighbor had his water problems fixed and he is draining it all into my backyard lol vegi garden I tried to talk to him and he dont care so I had to contact the city to have an engineer come out since I am not going to tolerate my property getting flooded by his ignorance

so this year we will just plant next to the house in a much smaller area so I am going to need some way of planting more in less space and that looks good to me

Alrighty, I will just have to go with 103 then, is that number ok?
I got lots of confidence in Bob.LOL

Mona, more with less is always better. Just ask Bob. His space isn't huge but I'm guessing he has veggies enough to give away or even sell at the farmer's market. That put us all on the "cutting edge" of growing veggies.

katiebear "P.S. A cashew nut tree which I started from seed last year is blooming!!!"

i would love to see pics of this tree if you can post them...so interesting!!! virginia

But those pictures belong in the Fruit and Nut thread as you are getting off subject and sort of taking away from the bean bets!

my guess is 138 pounds

Nice looking beans, Bob. My guess is 31 and 1/4 pounds, if that is OK.

This is what it is all about !!!!!! Dinner that didn't have to be bought at the grocery store. The tomato is the first one of my 3rd planting since last August. (More beans to pick tonight off the bean pole)

One to beam to Bob's house Scotty..LOL
Looks yummy..
