So how many plants will you need to gather 1 lb of beans. And how do you calculate how many plants you'll need to obtain a years worth of beans. I have to plant in buckets and to be able to obtain a years worth is unrealistic. What does a person do
For fun I bought some dried garbanzo beans from the grocery, something I had never eaten before, and planted a row. I also did the same with some black beans. They all came up, produced well as I can remember, that was 30+ years ago. So long as the beans have not been heated they can be planted.
I think half my garden is from seeds I got from the grocery store. Had way better luck with buck-a-pound Walmart lentils than I ever did with ones bought as seeds.
Lol, if you plant seeds from a seed store and plant they grow. Then why wouldn’t seeds grow from a grocery store? 😜 if they aren’t toasted they’ll sprout. 😊
I bought old sprouted shallots on the bargain table at Ralph’s for $1. Stuck them in the ground. Made many smaller shallots. I’m sure I could have done better, but good enough.
I've done this with Tarbais beans I bought at the farmer's market. "Technically" they're not "real" Tarbais beans, because Tarbais beans have Protected Geographical Indication classification. But they're genetically the same.
I do navy beans and black-eyed peas. Hundreds and hundreds of peas beans for pennies. Compared to buying them from a seed company. I've even tried popcorn, with limited success
This title makes me laugh if you ‘bought’ the beans at the store then they were not free! But yes this cool! I’ve been collecting different grains and dried beans and putting them in mason jars!

As some one who collects beans and Kentucky coffee beans I can say that I love bean-rattle noises. Lol
Garlic and potatoes
Satisfaction 😊

How often are hybrids used in commercial beans though? I don't trust most grocery based seeds
Is it too late to do this in 8b/9a NorCal? I bought some of the same beans and never planted!
LOL! I literally did the same thing. Same bean variety and even the same Rancho Gordo brand.
They will grow one season but if the seed it is modified you are not going to able to carry on next season
I've done that with baby limas and black eyed peas. It works

I love Rancho Gordo❤
Kewl beenz!❤
I did this with Mayacobas, but the real winners were the Navy beans. Hugely prolific!
I love their Royal Corona beans with ham. Yummy! My favorite of theirs!

I planted a coffee bean but it didn't work, i think the roast was too dark

Chickpeas please

I’ve been growing a dragon fruit from seed I got from one I bought at a store. It’s been doing really great.
We called them speckled butter beans in the South. They are good cooked green once the pods are full peel open and get the beans out and cook.
Cool! 😮
I did this with crimson tomatoes
Chick pea, then make some hummus
Baby Limas please, I can't find them in stores!
Something that tastes good
I’ve been growing beans from the supermarket for fall as well!
