Unfortunately I haven't really received an answer to my question. I plan to space them how far apart each plant should be spaced. OK. I would prefer to use a window box, so however many gallons the thing has to be to plant 4 green bean plants without overcrowding them, please specify the dimensions of the window box and what size it has to be in gallons. 6" deep, 6" long and 6" wide. I assume since I'll be planting 4 bush green bean plants and this is how many I want in a container without overcrowding them after I thin them, that I should plant double the amount of seeds with the number of plants I plan to grow since I'll be thinning them out to the strongest plants later? First, the idea of thinning to leave just the strongest plants is silly. What criteria determines which plant is strongest? Sometimes the little weaklings go on to do impressive things once they reach their stride, and the rapid growers peter out and become weak, but I digress. If you will only be planting 4 bush bean plants it isn't really worth your time. You will, at best, get 1-2 light side meals from that amount. Bush beans are usually planted with 3-6" spacing. Root system crowding/competition is pretty much never a limiting factor for them, instead sunlight exposure is. If you plant them too densely the ones in the middle shaded by the sunny side ones become the primary limiting factor. In a container you have the luxury of rotating it for sun exposure so you can plant a little more densely than in the ground. In a trough style container you can go even more dense since the mass of leaves is only as wide and the narrow container. If it were me and I was using a container 30" long by 6" wide by 6" deep I would place 20 bush bean plants into that space. That's 3" per plant. I would also fertilize with a 3:1:2 ratio fertilizer such as Miracle Grow 24-8-16. Don't count on the myth of beans/legumes using atmospheric nitrogen when growing in containers. Heck, half the time you can't even count on it when growing in the ground. With a trough shaped container this amounts to 2 rows of beans and I would rotate the container every day or every other day to get both sides adequate light.

I wasn't aware of any tires coming in a 7 inch size but if that's the case, then I'd contact some of the sellers on e-Bay, such as Rustybore or Miller tire. Those guys are the Pro's and can tell you quickly if that is a correct tire size or not. They can also tell you what tread patterns are available. That will help you decide whether switching to an 8" rim size is necessary. All that said though, if these wheels are not powered by the engine, then tread pattern isn't relevant.

The pattern is quite common and is used by many manufacturers but you have to be careful of "offset". This is the distance between the very outside of the rim itself and the "center" of the wheel that bolts to the axle. If you get rims with the wrong offset, you might find that they will fit your bolt pattern just fine but the tires will hit the bodywork. The wrong offset in the other direction might change you ability to trim close to obstructions if your deck does not stick way out on each side of the tractors wheels.

Hi Iso, I did see a picture of it being given to Bud at the meeting. Although it wasn't in bloom, i have no doubt that it will be a stunning flower named for his "Vi". Bud is a very special gentleman and i am so please to call him a friend. He is such a joy and you can feel his true love for his Plumeria. He took a pic of him and I in front of his California Sally and he called the flower " The beast" Here is a pic of his beautiful "California Sally" My tree just gave me this bloom, and i will say it is the biggest flower i have ever seen. Truly is the Beast.. But Bud, if you are reading this... The "Beauty and the Beast" is still you and your tree! Congratulations on you wonderful honor. You deserve this. I hope all is well.. Thank you Iso for letting everyone know about this special honor... I am so pleased for Bud.. This is for you Bud!! Take care everyone.. Laura
