I dont know of anyone around here who has actually got one of those bisexual plants to grow! Good luck with yours.

I didnt take photos as I was too busy trying to get it right. I should think they would grow - I got my seeds from MrFothergills. They can also be grown as a green manure crop - my beans are little, but tasty and fun to eat.africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-5344669939055726932013-11-05T07:58:48.254+10:002013-11-05T07:58:48.254+10:00Littlem,

Believe it or not they are protected, - you are allowed to catch them and put them in a plastic bag and freeze them, but i dont fancy them in the freezer alongside my food....

My Dad used to pick them up by the hind legs and "crack" them - he assured us kids it was the most humane way to dispose of them. I saw an episode of Kosta's Garden Odyssey once where a guy in NT used them in his massive (read ex-cement truck) rotating compost system to great advantage!!<br /><br />Oh, I don't like these comment selections where I can't used my blog as my identity! They are fairly recent, and as I operate a professional profile and a blog one, it confuses everyone.jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17322709527738134797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-88553459834872290762013-11-04T19:58:18.840+10:002013-11-04T19:58:18.840+10:00Oh wow grafting!

I am going to have to get some seeds from green harvest too and give them a try. <br />I know toads don't like salt - though I am not sure you want to put that around your wicking beds? maybe around on the ground next to them. Otherwise it would be good to see what others have to say. Those loofa's do look incredible. lizzie {Strayed Table}https://www.blogger.com/profile/02780078173100461193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-56578557742105997682013-11-04T09:26:40.298+10:002013-11-04T09:26:40.298+10:00well toads are one thing I do not have a problem w...well toads are one thing I do not have a problem with down here in hobart!! yikes. <br />i am amazed by those long beans. i shall have to try them one year, just for the childish thrill of growing something so long. thank you for the tour around your gorgeously lush garden.e / dig in hobarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03448702578845994922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-39803910758944854102013-11-04T07:12:42.134+10:002013-11-04T07:12:42.134+10:00Karen,

Here they are about 4" long (the body), but further north they have huge ones.
