I purchased the same exact thing at Job Lots for a $1.00, figured what the heck throw it under a grow light and see what happens??? I have only been gardening for three years so I am a Newbie. I was searching to see if there was any information on growing indoors with a grow light or if I could plant in the ground, which I believe won’t work because I live in Boston... It’s December with snow on the ground.. If anyone could answer my questions or provide any information on the true name, it would be greatly appreciated. Throw it out or give it a try?

Ok, we lost the last game, and since this tournament was decided on points, came in who-knows, as the rest of the teams were playing later, and we came on home. The beans are "Kings Banquet", originally given to me by some folks whose grandparents homesteaded here, and we've looked and researched around earlier - Seed Savers Exchange has this as the only place they've been seen. Maybe it's some other variety, but with a different name, or it well could have been brought in by the Italian migrants to the area, or some other source. I just have no idea. I sent some to Steve a few years ago, and he's still alive. I've sent some to some market farmers out in California, and they say it's a customer favorite. I sure like them. Great fresh, for me, anyway, they have some flavor. They also do a long time on the vine when they're tender, can well, and the dry seeds are good as well. I usually plant them in the same row I do the peas - peas come out, these go in. I'd suggest picking them at different sizes to see what / where you like them the best. As with any pole bean, as long as you pick them, they keep producing. Re multi-colored sorghum, this is fun. The plants look like corn. I dunno how old that seed is, maybe 4 years? Anywho, best results ever were planting 3 seeds per cell about now, germinating them, pinching off all but one, then setting them out after frost about 1 ft spacing, for as much room as you want to devote, but at least a 6 ft by 6 ft plot. I used a 15 - 15 - 15 fertilizer, spread it about 1 pellet per dime, watered well through June and it was established. once in July, once in Aug. Things were over my head. You could also plant them directly about now - just thin them to 1 / sq foot. Re that Salvia grandiflora, again it takes until the 3rd year to get up to knock 'em dead status. So year one and two are establishing the plant. Pinch the shoot tips when they're 6" high. Then again when they're a foot high. That for the first 2 years. The third year, pinch the tips every 6" of growth until either you get fed up with it, or it's August, then watch the show. All good fun ;->. We're up to Grand Junction for another tournament this coming weekend, then we start swimming season.

"Dennis Ritchie is the father of the C programming language, and with fellow Bell Labs researcher Ken Thompson, he used C to build UNIX, the operating system that so much of the world is built on " including the Apple empire overseen by Steve Jobs. âÂÂPretty much everything on the web uses those two things: C and UNIX,â Pike tells Wired. âÂÂThe browsers are written in C. The UNIX kernel " that pretty much the entire Internet runs on " is written in C. Web servers are written in C, and if theyâÂÂre not, theyâÂÂre written in Java or C++, which are C derivatives, or Python or Ruby, which are implemented in C. And all of the network hardware running these programs I can almost guarantee were written in C. âÂÂItâÂÂs really hard to overstate how much of the modern information economy is built on the work Dennis did.â Even Windows was once written in C, he adds, and UNIX underpins both Mac OS X, AppleâÂÂs desktop operating system, and iOS, which runs the iPhone and the iPad. âÂÂJobs was the king of the visible, and Ritchie is the king of what is largely invisible,â says Martin Rinard, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT and a member of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory."

A tragedy to die so young, and after the difficult life he has led.
