Since we don't have our nice, big garden anymore (boo hoo!!) to grow yummy things in, we have to resort to using mama's flower pots. This time, the kids took some dry pinto beans and planted them. They grew like crazy! We had a string trellis for them to grow on (I think I posted photos of that before). Then, harvest time came and all the kids circled around Dave very excitedly to see what was in the pods. It was fun for all!


Here are some homegrown pinto beans. Note the "watchful eye" of Timothy!

Matt bought SO many seeds of SO many different kinds of beans this year...they will be coming out of our EARS. And truthfully, beans are not something we eat a tremendous amount of...
Guess THAT will be changing!
This is awesome. I've never grown any beans but green and yellow bush beans.
