Will Cate કહ્યું...

Mmmmmm... green beans.

chickelit કહ્યું...

Looks like some wheat and some chaff there.

Get winnowing!

LordSomber કહ્યું...

Guy at the farmer's market had green beans like those. Also, purple ones.

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

Those are most emphatically not green beans!

Carol_Herman કહ્યું...

Oh. Yum! RAW!

I could eat all of them. I love raw green beans. Cooked? Not so much.

Carol_Herman કહ્યું...

You know, I'm surprised these many beans made it into the house! Meade must love you so much! (Otherwise, he'd have sat in the garden gobbling them all up.)

Carol_Herman કહ્યું...

If these aren't green beans what are they?

You're not going to tell me their baby limas!

These look exactly (except for the twigs) ... the green beans my mom would bring home from the market. Where she learned NOT to ask me to help her snip off the ends. Because I loved them raw!

What did Meade plant where he thinks he grew something other than green beans?

Deborah M. કહ્યું...

Snap beans?

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

It's another Althouse puzzle!

What the hell are these things?

Come on!

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

I hope you people don't just go out galavanting around putting things that look like food into your mouths!

edutcher કહ્યું...

That's how we learn.

Aren't we all your children?

You're supposed to take it out of our hands (or mouths) and say, "No, dear, you don't eat this. It's a...".

Clyde કહ્યું...

Are those Billy Beanes?

Clyde કહ્યું...

If so, then I have to give you A's for effort...

chickelit કહ્યું...

Wok us through this one, Althouse.

Carol_Herman કહ્યું...

If you say these are "chinese beans" I'll scream.

Chinese beans are as long as my forearm.

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

Peapods?

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

Could I give a bigger hint that it's not food?

edutcher કહ્યું...

They're bugs?

chickelit કહ્યું...

If not food nor fodder, why is it part of a harvest?

We harvest crops.

I'm crying fowl.

Carol_Herman કહ્યું...

WHAT! Wax?

Meade brought you home a WAX bouquet?

Oy. At least their not waxed pears. People could make a mistake trying to eat one.

Meade કહ્યું...

"Get winnowing!"

And sifting.

As my whimsy leads me.. કહ્યું...

Too skinny for redbud pods, too short for catalpa... It's a puzzlement!

Toy

Meade કહ્યું...

"Could I give a bigger hint that it's not food?"

Not food, but it is in the Brassicales order.

chickelit કહ્યું...

Watts that plant?

Brassica fruticulosa?

chickelit કહ્યું...

Turnipseeds?

Joe Schmoe કહ્યું...

Oh yeah; porcupine beans. Gotta be careful when you eat porcupine beans.

coketown કહ્યું...

I've pretty much devoured everything I grew this year, except some tomatoes and potatoes. The shallots looks absolutely stunning all season, and then when I pulled them up they were just puny, rotten little bulbs. A real disappointment. Soon it will be time to get garlic in the ground.

Carol_Herman કહ્યું...

Why would you plant inedible "Brassicales?" Why would you buy these seeds?

I know someone with a green thumb just needs to stick his finger in the ground. And, throw in a seed. And, then nature does its thing.

But why?

Ya sure could'a planted green beans.

What was the beauty in this?

chickelit કહ્યું...

I know someone with a green thumb just needs to stick his finger in the ground. And, throw in a seed. And, then nature does its thing.

Sex-ed for plants!

Meade કહ્યું...

Come on, folks. First one to name it - genus and species - wins a packet of the seed for sowing in your 2012 garden. A $5 retail value!

ALP કહ્યું...

San Francisco Wallflower seed pods?
Family: Brassicaceae (formerly Cruciferae)
Genus: Erysimum L.
Species: Erysimum franciscanum G. Rossb

Fritz કહ્યું...

Cleome

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleome

We just let them reseed themselves.

Fritz કહ્યું...

Probably C. hassleriana, although a true taxonomist would not approve of an identification from seed pods from a low-res photo over the internet.

Peter Hoh કહ્યું...

Cleome. I grew these a couple years ago and recognize the pods.

Synova કહ્યું...

Did anyone get it?

I can't see the *seeds* but the pods look like sweet peas.

Lathyrus odoratus?

Synova કહ્યું...

Oh wait, no. I didn't realize that the random and mysterious pine needles were were stems.

Cleome, eh?

BJM કહ્યું...

Grandfather's Whiskers...Cleome hassleriana?

Meade કહ્યું...

Very good. Fritz got it. Email me your mailing address and I'll send you your seeds, C. hassleriana "Meadhouse."
