experimenting with beans


We do very well with jade and always grow some bush roma type beans.  We also grow Flageolet and Cannelini for a fresh shell bean.  This past fall, we had fabulous luck with Pinto beans.  The ordinary pinto makes a very good flat green bean, good bean-y flavor.  Any that develop seeds can be shelled out.  Don't tell anybody, but we planted a 4 pound bag of CASSEROLE brand dry beans from the grocery store!  For less than $3, we sold about 15 bushels of beans before the frost got them.  That's profit!  We sell a lot by the half bushel.  Good luck with your experiments.
