Re: They are eating my sprouts at breakfast!!!!

 I saw red listed with  popcorn mix but it said it was more rare.  So I

didn't see where it could be ordered by itself. I thought yor stems were pink

and so I wanted the red.  But didn't see it separately.

I was looking on Sprouthouse.  I bought a white pea but didn't know wha kind of

peas to get, Melody.  Got th black oil sunnies.

Have you ever cooked them with the pods on?  Wondered if they turn green like

the purple beans do.  They are a pretty bean.  i'll have to put some out in

the garden.  Are they any good with sprouting?  Or are these just a good bean

to plan?

 

I am only going to put some of them out when they arrive and save the rest for

September which is our planting month down here.  But my other beans are

growing.  I can send you a photo since I have your address.  I don't

know if I could upload it  to here.  I have to get my other camera working. 

Probably just needs a battery or 4 charged.   I am not sure if I ave

rechargeable ones in there but could just pop some new ones in.  Just bought

some for hurricane preparedness.  I got a bunch of little lanterns with

batteries.    LED lights.

Those are cranberry beans, also known as October beans. My freezer is stocked

full of them from the past two years harvest, and they are my favorite bean

ever-very creamy and tender. Some of the pods grow quite long, with 10 or more

beans in the pod. They have a very short harvest season. One of my favorite

things to do in the summer is to harvest them, then go sit on a blanket by the

lake to shell them all. I usually end up with many, many individual serving bags

of them, which I eat throughout the winter. Just love them!

The pods are very woody and fibrous, no good for eating or sprouting. They are

a very prolific plant though-amazing to see the pods go from tiny little things

one day, to a huge pod the next. The bush is sort of compact, so they don't

need stringing up like many bean plants do. I have them in containers all along

my driveway-they are attractive enough to serve double duty as a decorative

" shrub " , lol
