Hey Fellow Gardeners!!!

Here is a picture of what the garden looked like on 3/26 (only two weeks ago) so you too can be amazed at the growth!!!

to be honest it makes me nervous that u think my pole bean looks "interesting," makes me think there is something wrong with it.Your bean pole looks very interesting - can you post another photo?
....anyways as you requested here is a less artistic photo of my pole beans.

I have them growing up the edges of my trellises (because the edges are "poles")
on a side note, the tomatoes I have growing are sweet 100s...does anyone have experience growing them? or any helpful tips for me about the tomatoes?
Hay can be not so good depending in the kind and when it was cut. It can be full of seeds causing hay and/or weeds to sprout in your garden. We used first cut marsh hay in the garden on the farm I grew up on and never had a problem. Grass alfalfa mix though ended up being a disaster!
I've never heatd of a problem with straw though, and I don't knoow about FL but up here it's a lot cheaper than hay.
