I believe it is because the soil is warmer, and things germinate and grow faster. I think the beans grew so well near the goat area due to the richness of the goat poop which could be seeping over to where the beans were. And when things are in a shady area, the foliage often is large and vigorous, searching for the light!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-86302276161851517892013-09-07T21:57:29.698-04:002013-09-07T21:57:29.698-04:00Great post!
