   Maybe a hint, but a had a ton a green been seeds   
   left over from last year.  I planted them in a   
   feral bin to see what would happen.  This is   
   about may 7th or so.  Since I started soaking   
   the seeding areas, yesterday, some of the green   
   beans started coming up.  But only in the area   
   where most of the water ponded up when watering.   
      
   I see what seeds walmart has left.
