    I'm growing this for the first time, and it grows like a weed! I just planted it this spring, and it's going to flower in August! Interesting that it folds its leaves up when it gets dry, and unfolds when I water it. I got it for a host plant for butterflies, and I'll report anything I see on it.

    Awesome I didn't know it was bacteria that was responsible for the fixing the nitrogen I had no idea so is that the same for legumes? I know beans in general fix nitrates into the soil, so they are part of the Three Sisters. Either way super cool and great video
