Beans

This year I grew two short rows of  Black Turtle Bean.

One package cost $4.35.

I had about two small pails of pods.  It wasn’t a great crop because of the drought this summer.

They were really dry in the pods already, but I’ll leave them on the cookie sheet to dry a bit longer.

I’ll use them this winter in soups and winter salads.

I’m not sure there is even $4.35 worth of beans here.  And with the work of planting, weeding, watering,

and getting them all out of the pods – probably not worth it cost wise.

But it’s fun to try it and have your own dried beans to eat in the winter!
