Provider bean
A tasty bush bean the bears prolifically and can be dried. Germinates well in cool soil, maybe not so well later in the season.

Pole beans
Shown are pinto beans, a pole variety, though I didn't know this when I planted them - it was time for construction a quick set of supports for them. Trail of Tears beans are behind at the left.

Hannan Popbean
These garbanzos are a favorite of Carol Deppe. If you read my definition of a bean for drying, you can guess what I didn’t like. Plants drooped and lay their produce on the ground. They took a long time to dry out.

Rockwell bush beans
The Rockwell beans stand tall and keep their beans off the ground. My favorite bean for drying because they are easy to shell.

Blue Lake pole beans
There are several plants at each pole (I started out with around ten and only a few survived) and these pole beans continue to bear.

Trail of Tears pole beans
The Trail of Tears bean pods are green when they are young. As they mature they take on a maroon color. When they have dried out their color is almost black, as are the beans inside.

Use the following syntax to reference this file: {{:garden:about:plants:beans:gallery:img_1238dw.jpg}}

Bean pod with a twist
The pod of a Rockwell bean twists as it dries, eventually exerting enough force to open the pod. They it continues to twist until it has expelled the beans. Nature is cool!

Use the following syntax to reference this file: {{:garden:about:plants:beans:gallery:img_2188650dw.jpg}}

Rockwell beans shelled
The Rockwell beans are easy to shell once they dry completely. A twist in the pod eventually breaks the it open. I'm waiting to see if this happens automatically with most of the pods.
