Ever wondered what your backyard would look like if you planted twenty different kinds of dry beans? Turns out, it’s a wild ride. My garden turned into a patchwork of colors and shapes—some beans climbing, others staying low, all fighting for sun. I learned fast that spacing is everything. If you crowd them, they get grumpy and don’t produce much. Watering was a balancing act, too. Some beans wanted more, some less. The best part? Harvest day felt like a treasure hunt. Each pod was a surprise. I never thought shelling beans could be this satisfying. Now, my pantry is stocked with jars of homegrown beans, and every meal feels like a little victory lap. #gardening #beans #homegrown
