Beans of all types and colors!

Soybeans 

Black turtle beans 

Royal burgundy bush beans

Yellow and green bush beans 




















This year we are growing soybeans, green beans and storage beans. 
The chipmunks ate some of the soybeans soon after I planted them, however, some of the soybeans sprouted and now they have pods on them.  I have to wait until the pods swell up a bit more before I can pick them.
The black turtle beans are for storage.  It is best to let the plant flower, set pods, fill up and die.  Then I will thresh the collection of plants and collect the seeds, that is before the chipmunks get to them first.
The other type of beans, you want to eat them before the pods fill up. You can dehydrate them or can them for storage.  We are eating them fresh now.
