The United States was elected in 2009 to sit on the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), which the U.S. State Department had previously asserted had lost its credibility by its prior stances and lack of safeguards against severe human rights violators taking a seat.
The lima bean plant (Phaseolus lunatus) is named after the city of Lima, Peru, where people have been eating them since 6000 BC. In the U.S., Native Americans grew lima beans before the English settlers landed. Lima beans are also known as butter beans or chad beans.
When growing lima beans in the bush variety, the Fordhook 242, Hendersonâs Bush and Baby Fordhook are the easiest. Growing lima beans is done best at temperatures between 70 and 80 F. (21-28 C.), so summertime is definitely the time to grow them. Watering should be done at a rate of about 1 inch a week during the time blossoms and pods are developing, and whether the water comes from irrigation or rain doesnât matter.
