Related: About this forumwhat's your favorite bean?
we plan to focus on growing beans next year, as our hugelkulture will need the nitrogen for a year or 2. so we are looking for interesting and tasty beans that we can seed save.
will probably do a teenie bit of the three sisters thing and tuck in a couple melons and squash, but to run and shade out the weeds. suggestions for that welcome also.

(646 posts)every other year at our organic farm...3000 pounds of fresh black beans are a wonderful sight. No soaking, even after a year. They cook quickly and taste great. We have also done kidney and Maine yellow eye.

(2,381 posts)White kidney beans. They make a great bean dip with olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice. I also toss them in pasta sauce.
