Growing Rattlesnake Beans

Rattlesnake beans are kin to pinto beans (a family favorite!) and are said to grow extremely well in hot humid areas, like St Pete.  I dug out a spot of lawn today, added St Pete Soil Builder and trellised some bamboo poles then planted 4 rattlesnake bean seeds per pole, with one between each set of poles and two little "not sure if they will germinate" looking seeds in the center.  Hopefully in a month or two I'll be harvesting my very own Rattlesnakes!
