Marsha,
That seems perfectly reasonable to me. As I said above the plant with all the nodules on the roots was loaded with fully developed beans. That's why I pulled it to begin with; i.e. there were no small beans on it, so it would have taken weeks to get another set of beans on it.
From here on, I think I will have a better idea what I am looking at when I look at roots with lots of bumps on them.
Thank you very much,
Larry
