Here Come The Indian Bean Trees

I planted a few of my Indian Bean Tree seeds last year in the hope of getting them planted outside within the summer of the same year. That did not happen. First off they were pretty slow growing and I didn't think they were big enough to survive the winter. And also, my space was taken up by the Paulownia Tomentosa mini plants that I planted outside, which all seem to have died due to the cold winter.

So now I'm going to replace the dead Tomentosa's with the two Indian Bean's that are starting to sprout leaves again!. They were just a twig in a pot, but now they have come back to life.

One of them looks like a mutant. It has three sets of leaves coming out the top. At the moment I am keeping the plants ticking over by leaving them on the windowsill and giving them the occasional blast under a small CFL bulb (23 Watt). They look good and I can't wait to get them planted outside so they can finally start to get established in the ground and turn into mini trees. Fingers crossed.
