These are such a cool bean.  I loved the pictures you had.  I also, thought they were soybeans and you have straightened me out.  So, these would be a good fall crop?  Should I start some now?  or when will you plant yours?

Those little brown things are the seeds?  What do you mean by ripen?  I am (as usual) confused.

Awesome!  I noticed that mine is just starting to form as well this weekend - can't wait!
