Beans, beans, beans!

Beans beans beans 2026!

My great passion in the garden is edible plants of all kinds, BUT the thing that makes me a little extra happy during sowing, growth, and harvest has to be BEANS!

These come in all possible colors, patterns, and shapes. They are beautiful in their growth habit with their green foliage winding up toward the sky with a color that makes you happy and then come the bean pods! Hanging there with different shapes and colors, they give the green foliage that little bit extra! And finally! The harvest of the beautiful beans! It is just as exciting every time to open a dried bean pod. How did the color turn out? How many are there?

The sorting at harvest is first and foremost to secure next year's seeds, so the beans that come from pods with many large beans are saved, those that are damaged or bad are thrown away, and the rest are divided into what I need for jewelry and sales. The ones left over I save for food.
The drying process is not very long since I let them dry on the plant, so after I take them out of the pod I let them dry on trays for two weeks so that I am completely sure they are dry.
But first and foremost, the sowing! That happened this weekend (April 11). There were many trays… Now they are all sitting in my unheated greenhouse, hoping that the sun will come and warm it up.
You can buy seeds and jewelry on the website. https://southbaycrafting.com/
Plants can be bought at markets and at my home, I will have a limited number of varieties.
