Our most favorite beans to eat: I give these priority space in the garden and they are always the first to be used up in the fall. We never use them as fresh string beans (except to win prizes at the fair for 'other' bean pods) because the dried beans are so versatile for us: soups, our version of bean burritos, and more. They cook up more quickly than other dried beans too.

I am so excited to germinate these beans. Salads, soups, and other delicious dishes are waiting for these to grow.

Mmmm soo good in my vegetable doup! It’d be good all by itself too.

My favorite!
