Thank you @gardengirlcanada! If you get bored in the winter and just want to grow something you can throw a couple of beans in a pot of soil and they will grow very quickly. You may not get any beans but a nice plant just the same. I sometimes can't wait to start growing again in the winter so I sprout , grow micro greens and experiment.
RE: Black Beans From the Garden! Picked our first black beans today and shelled a bunch of them.
