Amazing Roma Beans

Its safe to say we have never eaten, let alone seen, a roma bean. But the seed package enticed me and I bought them. Out of about 40 seedlings I have going right now, these were the last to sprout. I was worried that they weren't going to develop for some reason ... most seeds will germinate and sprout within about 10 days this time of year, but after day 13 there was nothing (!). I kept watering them hoping to see something manifest and lo and behold ... I come out to check wednesday morning and these guys were popped up. Apparently (to my delightful surprise) the bean was developing entirely under the soil and decided to jump up overnight. Keep an eye out for more posts on the status of these buggers.
