I bought some dry beans at an asian shop in Tauranga. I planted one and now
the thing is growing like a triffid. The seeds are about 6mm x 4mm x 2mm.
They are pale yellow brown and have a long white hilum bordered with dark
brown. The pods are set on stem which holds about 12 pods. The pods are
short and contain 4 or 5 seeds. I bought them as lima beans but I am damn
sure that they are not! Any ideas?

Put a strong fence around them and watch out for the sting.
