Little more than a week ago, I dried store-bought beans and planted them. 8 or 9 days later, many have grown, even outgrown tomato seedlings, which were planted more than a month ago. I am guessing that beans are more tolerate to cold or just love to grow.

Here are a few photos:

This one is planted in a bigger pot with others, which I called it prime pot, because I planned to have each of different plants growing in that pot.

The one on the left is pumpkin, the rest of bigger ones are beans, smaller ones are tomato, pea, and chili. I think those tomatoes probably are going to die out.

The biggest one is bean, the rest is just tomato. Really small tomatoes, probably lack of space to grow. I’d just leave them there, because I don’t need this many. I was wishing that one is more than enough for me, but was fear nothing was going to germinate, so put too many to germinate and ended up too many.

Today, I opened the pods which were dried in paper bag for more than a month:

Only got five bean seeds:

Maybe air drying is better way to it or just poor pods. Those air dried beans had at least four beans per pod, this paper bag method only got me 1 or 2 a pod.
