My very first attempt at growing dry beans! I managed to get this great harvest from 20 plants grown in the ground through a super hot climate.
The pods turned completely brown and brittle on the vine, and now they are freshly shelled and ready to go. I’m skipping long-term storage and cooking them up tonight into a rich red bean soup with smoked turkey neck and beef. Incredibly satisfying first harvest!

Started growing beans for drying this year. So many plants, then I see what a bag of dried beans costs at the store and think of the size of the fields and amount of infrastructure that went into it.
Still growing beans for drying, but figuring out how to use otherwise unused space for it while deterring rabbits.
