Plants in action

I see the brored bean growing the best and the kumo kumo Isint fare behind.
I think that the corn is going to take a long time.
I want to now why the corn is taking so long.
There are 4 out of 6 plants are growing 
I wonder why the corn is taking so long.

Here is so info...


Corn grows quickly and is available to harvest between 55 and 90 days from the day it is planted. The amount of time varies per variety of corn and the location where it's grown. Corn is easy to grow for most gardeners.

Why is the scarlet runner bean taking so long?


Scarlet Emperor has been a favourite for decades, which is no surprise, it produces heavy crops of long, smooth textured dark-green, pods of excellent flavour. The pods are very long, up to 38cm (15in). Sliced and blanched, it freezes well to provide tasty out-of-season treats. 75 days.

Scarlet Emperor sets fat, slightly fuzzy pods filled with a richer, more savory flavor than snap beans. Though the 6 to 8 inch, plump, juicy pods are less uniform than some varieties, the taste of Scarlet Emperor is as sweet as a bean can get. This easy-to-grow food needs little tending, traditionally used as a soup bean, the beans are also edible as young pods



The komo komo has snapped and the brored bean is growing really well and the dwarf butter bean is 
the secon tallist!
Next we desided to plant them in the garden and I thing that there is a 60% chance that they are going to live.
Here is so helpful information.

Kamokamo is simple to grow & harvest. If you are talking about growing from seed, the shell has an opening-end. When you sow the seeds (assuming you already have pots/trays/containers ensure there'e atleast 15cm potting seed mix), make sure the opening is facing up, after 7-9days they will pop. Cover seeds into soil no more than 10cm depth. Once stem & leaves fully extend out of shell, begin to water atleast daily pref at nights or when moisture fade. Make sure there's enough day light/warmth. As soon as it becomes warmer/frost clear/, pending where in Aotearoa you are ie. North Island - Prepare seeds at the end of july - aug or next full moon, the stem should take atleast 4-5 weeks to gain strength before transplanting into garden. Give around 3-3.5 months for harvest. Meaning if you prep in July-Aug, you will harvest in December. There are 3 stages of eating to Kamo kamo. 

The ethnic heirloom pumpkin of the Maori people of New Zealand; it is also known as Kumi Kumi pumpkin. New Zealanders say this is the best of all squash, for the young fruit can be boiled, fried or baked, and they have a rich, nutty flavor that is quite delicious. Let the green speckled squash ripen, and they are good as a winter squash. They have become rare even in New Zealand.

Here is so photos 








The plants are dieing and very dehighdrated and as soon as I walked out there I could see how menny 
Plants were dehidrated . The thing is that the bigger plants had bigger roots so that they could hond more water and the smaller plants had smaller roots couldn't hold much water.
