Thanks! I may take you up on that however I haven't even tried to germinate these yet :D
Cool blog by the way! You just got a new reader lol
In regards to weediness one good thing about living in a temperate area is that I have to worry less about tropical plants getting out of hand (now other foriegn temperate species are an issue!) I imagine there might be some volunteers should I let them go wild in the garden though.

weedy isnt necessarily bad. its actually one of the main things i look for in plants when im searching for biomass producing plants. they grow fast and create shelter for more delicate plants. here the cosmos dont spread on their own unless the soil is bare or lightly mulched. that doesnt happen too often around here. so they pretty much stay wherever i plant them. weedy is one thing, invasive is another. do they disrupt the ecosystem or do they just grow too well?

funny, I always thought string beans are called string because they grow up as a vine, on a string I guess? 😝
learned something new from your blog!
Do you know if any hybridized varieties of cosmos are also edible? I got lots of seeds in a yearly swap from one of my favorite groups, and there are some cosmos seeds there.
