We are getting all of ours in this week...red kidney, yellow eyed, black beans. Just picked yellow waxed and a green bush bean as well. We didn't think our heirloom green beans were going to do anything...but they finally did...lol
We plant beans and peas, not every year but often enough. I find the seeds keep a long time too. We grow white beans, pintos, purple hull, black eyed, crowder and cow peas. (The hubs loves peas) The deer like the peas we find, but we plant extra for that reason. Have a great fall weekend!
another option instead of dehydrator is to pull the plants, tie upside down until dry or spread plants out on a tarp in a sheltered area (such as garage/shed/porch) in a single layer (so they don't mold/rot).... looking forward to your chicken feed growing experiment, am hoping to try growing buckwheat, millet, oats, field peas to supplement chicken feed if prices skyrocket or feed is hard to find....a rule of thumb i heard is that if you can grow regular green beans in your area, you can grown dry beans..
I love dried beans and if I could that’s one of the main garden plants I’d grow. I love yellow beans so sweet and they hold their shape well. You must make another canning beans video for us. Thank you Rene
I didn't get much cannellinis - especially since I didn't stake them. I should have. The Good Mother Stallard were awesome, as were the Tarbais beans! The borlottie were quite productive for as few as I planted. Looking forward to planting cannelinis again next year and this time, stake them so they don't mold.
I have come to the conclusion after observing them, that even bush-type beans will benefit from some support. I want to add a lot more trellises to the garden next year.
I grow tons of dried beans . It takes me days to shell them all. So easy to can . Get some black turtle ( spicy black beans sooooo good ) beans are cheap yes , but mine are free and organic . I haven't purchased seeds for years. replant and can the rest. I like the light red kidney too. They make great refried for burritos . I take the plants that haven't quite dried and just hang them in the shed. They dry in a week or so. If you have a PO Renee I can send you some fun ones to try. Pole and bush. I even grow beans that I never eat Scarlet runner have beautiful purple seeds and I have a emerald green variety ( I don't remember the name ) I just keep them in jars and stare at them . lol. You can leave your green beans to mature and dry. never have to buy those again either. This year I went crazy seed saving . Afraid there will be shortages next year.
I love dry beans and I can get kinda evangelical about them! I grow about six different kinds and they are great sources of plant based protein and fiber. Plus they add nitrogen to your soil. They've got great self life and also provide a lot of entertainment value if your family is anything like mine. Hey, farts are funny!
I never heard of regular people growing navy beans or canalenie beans, I like them a lot also. where do you order them from?? Anyone Please reply ! I’ve got to order them soon if I’m going to grow them this year. Thank you for this video, and thanks for replying
Hi Liz! Can't wait for the book have already pre-ordered it!! (Can you tell I'm excited for it and you??) Anyway, about the vacuum sealing, did a video on it ELEVEN years ago! LOL. Here ya go: th-cam.com/video/2DtlcfKNERk/w-d-xo.html
Hahaha -- maybe next year. I've heard you can use dry green bean seed like northern beans so I'm saving all of mine beyond next year's seed and seeing if that's true.

Considering that the dried beans approximately triple in volume once cooked that's a lot of free healthy plant protein for your efforts.

You can also replant what you have here in the vid for next year.
I don't know if it's true of not but I heard somewhere that once you vac a seed it won't sprout.

Wow. VERY interesting video. I'd love to try the Indian beans. Good job, you are def self sufficient!!! 😊
thank you for sharing your experiences.....I just may try the Indian Woman beans...they are beautiful.
Thank you for sharing. My favorites are red beans, black beans and crowder peas.

Beautiful!! You must be so proud. How cool. Even in the kitchen I find pintos are the knockout stars!
Something new for me-I don’t know how to vacuum seal beans. Can you share that information too ?

Scarlet runners are commonly grown here (NZ) as a whole green cooked bean. Delicious. Pretty plant.
Eat the whole thing raw, from the plant too.
@@ewanmee9877 I have never eaten then . I love the bloom too. I'll be trying them next year. Thanks for sharing.

,,,good video,,,i enjoyed watching,,,
We eat beans all the time. Great idea.

late to the party! this was so super helpful!
I am growing Yellow Indian Woman this year. I noticed that they are climbing, is that your experience too?
Nice video! How did you vacuum seal the beans in the jar? I'd love to do that!

@@Michigansnowpony Thank you!
how did you vacuum seal your jars?
Have you tasted the Indian woman yellow beans? How did they taste?
As a fellow Michigander, no great northern?

Oh yes its going to be hard to get almost anything this winter I'm collecting seeds. Oh boy I love dried beans but they don't love me..
Yes, they are such things as bean/pea shellers, the one we have isn't that great.
Don't laugh, but I'm wondering if an old wringer (like on an old wash tub) would work???
@@Michigansnowpony Yeah, that should work. I was looking at some while out thrifting recently, but of course they wanted antique prices for them.
