Hmm, that could be an explanation too, then, because the beans were planted in the bed that is under the hose, so it would get the drip-drip every time I used the hose. Hmm... =P We live in a damp climate. Moisture can be tricky in that bed, and I am told we almost always end the season with powdery mildew (which was true for me, with the peas, squash, and cukes). Oh, I guess I should have specified that they are bush beans. The peas have a twine trellis on the fence. I did twine last year in a different spot, with stakes, and they seemed to do okay (although the trellis didn't end up being tall enough, and the top half of them fell over at the end of the season, lol). Planting in bags was recommended to me by a local. It worked well for the season, but I found that I had to retire the bag at the end of the year because it was too rootbound to be planted in again (which was contrary to what I had been told). That was a question I kept forgetting to ask. I tried to transplant a bean plant once, and it died. Are they finicky? Do I need to do anything special to give them a good chance?

My project is to design something for home. I am seeking to ask more personal questions rather than functional because I am trying to discover a theme. Perhaps the consumer yet doesn't know what they need in their house, but after gathering the answers to these questions, I can start comparing them and see what is the recurring theme. This is for my Product Design Studio.

I was at IKEA over the weekend. The Soderhamn chairs seemed massive, like they would overwhelm your space. I would check out West Elm’s options. They have a pretty big selection of chairs and in my experience aren’t so huge, but still cozy. They should also have a NYC location so you can sit in the chairs. Also, they have chairs in color, since you don’t want the room to be too gray. Use the opportunity to get a fun color like teal or pink.
