I don't think they like me anymore

I've left the beans outside at night lately. However, since we are going against nature in this class, and starting to grow beans on the cusp of winter, it frosts outside, so I have to bring them in at night. I haven't been bringing them in. I've barely been watering them. One plant has kind of fallen over (Balder), and the other two are kind of turning brown and don't look so good. I have so many other things on my mind (read os kernel), that I often forget about my beans. I'm not being good to them. I wonder if I was a farmer I'd still have this problem, would I have a job on the side? Would I work in a factory during the winter? I think at least, I'd be a lot more careful about my beans because they'd be part of my livelihood, like how much my family would eat and how much money I could bring home. I wonder too if I would have just a small garden of green been plants to harvest for familial consumption, or if I'd have lots and lots of beans, say an acre or more, and perhaps market them. I wonder how marketable green beans would be back then. When I think of market activities of a farmer if I'm thinking food, I think mainly in terms of wheat, perhaps corn, but never general fruits and vegetables. Oh well, hopefully my beans will flower soon.
