Beans Beans the Magical Fruit!

I think I planted the beans too early.  The seed package said to plant in May or June after all danger of frost had passed.  But i thought i'd start them early indoors.  Now they're about a foot tall and taking over the living room table!  

The carrots and peas seem to be happily stalled as little sprouts in the garden, but they'll have plenty of time once it's warmer to grow.

 And the garlic sprouts seem to have stopped growing.  I'm really tempted to pull one up to see if the bulb is growing ,but so far I have restrained myself. 

It's as if they're my nieces and nephews:  I take a lot of pleasure in caring for them and i want them to be the best plants ever, but at the same time I want to experiment with them.  Like encouraging children to climb to the top of the monkey bars and jump off.  They might break a leg, but they'd live.  Will the tomatoes make it if I put them outside?  Oops, not now, it's still too early.
