i planted like 38 black beans in a starter tray(given the creatures that live in my land, i cant plant anything directly into the soil), and most of them sprouted and grew quite a lot in that first week. will be transplanting them this weekend. i'm hopeful for a nice harvest.....
Oh my goodness lol! Last night I was sorting thru my dry beans I grew this summer. I saved the seeds from pods that contained six or more beans. Those will be the seed stock for next year. All others will be used in soup or chili or whatever. I grew purple florelle which is a pole variety and is a light lilac purple with dark purple swirls it's a nice roundish bean about the size a large pea, also grew bird egg blue which is a bush variety, pretty heavy producer, makes beautiful blue seeds with white speckles, also did a French horticulture variety, bush kind produced large red and white swirled seeds. Also grew scarlet runner and an old variety called pink tip cornfield which is a pole bean and very heavy producer. All in all I got a total of about 25 lbs of beans to use for eating and around 5 lbs I am saving for seeds. Not too bad, next year I'm planting twice what I did this year lol my husband just shakes his head, can't understand why I love chilling out and crunching the bean pods one at a time in the evenings. Oh well. Nice video!
Thank you. I was wondering how many we might get from our plants. I see you container plant. How many plants do you plant per container? How big is the container?
I am Cuban so I cook black beans 🌹 Waooo you played my father music do you want a recipe 😳 are you my twin you do and said everything I do down to noticed the insects and that autumn 🍂 is at our doorstep 🌻
Just wondering with the high cost of water bill, is it really worth using garden space to plant beans when a 1lb bag at store is currently about $1.50?
Plant them a few centimeters deep, I only watered these once, then we got enough rain to keep them happy. Beans are SUPER easy to grow, one of the toughest plants out there. I only use my home made compost to fertilize, they really dont need much.
Black bean seeds are marketed as bush beans, but they do send out runners, and if given support will definitely grow several feet tall. Giving them support also prevents the plants from breaking over. On the whole, I would say you can't really go wrong treating them as a "short pole bean".
That’s crazy, so then one plant produces about one cup? Which is like a serving of a pot, so it feeds for like one week or less. Thanks for the insight, it was educational :)
I think it was more like a 1/4 cup, so you would need a few plants to get a full cup. I use beans to fill in empty spots in the garden, but with more sun and fertilizer I bet you could get an even better harvest!
Hi there ! I am from India planning to plant these. Can you please help me with a detailed growth cycle like how much time they take to grow and what kind of fertilizers are necessary and what are the watering intervals? Any tips and recommendations you have other than the ones you mentioned in the video would be very helpful. Thanks!
These grow fast, fully grown in about a month or two, and another month or two you will harvesting beans. I give them compost as fertilizer, thats it! I dont worry too much about watering, just the normal soak every few days unless it rains, then I dont water. Watch out for pests! Deer here love to eat the entire plant.
Hmmmmm...very interesting! 🙂 How would you prepare black beans? In my country they are cooked with pork bones into a soup. They are also boiled until tender and then concocted into a kind of dessert called "Iced Kacang" or shaved ice beans.🍧 Just sharing! 😀
I boil them until soft and use them in Mexican cuisine, but I would love to try Iced Kacang. The beans smell like chocolate when they are done cooking so a desert could be fun to try.
My Brasilian MIL taught me: fry enough garlic to choke a horse in EVOO, add soaked/drained/picked blk beans, bay leaf, pork bone/bacon(fried), water, cook hours until soft. She also has a manual pressure cooker she cooks them in but never taught me to use 😭. I could cook 0 before she got ahold of me 🤣 classic American
I don't think it is healthy to eat dry beans without cooking them. Also my understanding is if you leave the roots in the soil, you leave the good bacteria in the soil and nitrogen.
Lets do some math, cold and brutal reality math: 1 bean, becomes up to 59 beans in an average of 120 days. Lets be on the safe side and say the average is like 20 beans for each planted, in 120 days. I DARE you do tell me a relatively safe investment, where I put in 1 dollar(euro or whatever currency you have) and you get 20 back in 120 days(four months).
@@GiveitaGrow Not my case thou. I'm preparing a good plot of land to go and live there indefinitely. Thus I'll need all production that I can. Nice video, congratulations!
if you're growning commercially you can probably get a much higher yield than a home gardener, as you will probably focus on just one thing, and optimize the land and schedules just for that one thing....
I planted a bean out of quarantine boredom and watching the plant grow has made me want to plant a lot more
Awesome! My roommate in college got me a pot with a bean plant, it was the only plant I had at the time :)
los gandules tambien crecen rapido. hay una variedad que le dicen "lazaro". sembre algunos antes de la cuarentena, y ya las plantas estan produciendo.
Did you plant any this year?
This is what I truly consider beautiful. The power of one tiny little seed.
Sustainability!
Love the music on this video!! I want to grow black beans this year and am currently preparing my beds. Can’t wait to harvest.
Thank you sir! Love it! I'm eating a can of black beans now and it really makes me appreciate how much is actually in this can. :D
I imagine a super healthy plant could produce one can worth of black beans, none of mine got that big, but I still enjoy growing them :)
Im going to try them for next season! We are up in north east Ohio :)
How many plants you will need to make at least 1 kg of dry beans?
Those are the best looking beans ive ever seen, cant compare to grocery store beans
So easy to grow too :)
i planted like 38 black beans in a starter tray(given the creatures that live in my land, i cant plant anything directly into the soil), and most of them sprouted and grew quite a lot in that first week. will be transplanting them this weekend. i'm hopeful for a nice harvest.....
Awesome, good luck!
Do you have to do any preparation of the black bean seed before planting direct, like soaking etc.
If the beans are old and wrinkled, yeah soaking them in water over night can help them sprout faster. I do that with Peas and pole beans.
Wonderful music, sounds like music from my country.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks

nancy miller how many plants would you say it took to obtain a yield?
Hi..last year I grew pole beans and the dried seeds were black...could I eat them in soups when they're dried and black?thank you
How do you know when to pull the plant? Mine are purplish now and it looks like some lower leaves are turning yellow but the pods still seem too moist
The beans can be dried on the vine, or you can pick them just as they start to dry and finish the drying out of the soil but still on the vine.
Never have grown black beans but enjoy eating them. Will give them a try next year. Blessings 💫
They are not as productive as pole beans, but I do like them more.
Thank you. I was wondering how many we might get from our plants. I see you container plant. How many plants do you plant per container? How big is the container?
I like large containers, 10+gallons, and I plant about 4-5 per pot.
@@GiveitaGrow thank you. I am going to see what we have for large containers here. :)
I am Cuban so I cook black beans 🌹 Waooo you played my father music do you want a recipe 😳 are you my twin you do and said everything I do down to noticed the insects and that autumn 🍂 is at our doorstep 🌻
Please share your recipes, I might even make a video on them if that is ok.
Where do you get your seeds from? Thanks for the video!
I think these were from a home improvement store.
Do the plants regrow beans after harvest? Or, do you have to uproot and replant?
You have to replant
Just wondering with the high cost of water bill, is it really worth using garden space to plant beans when a 1lb bag at store is currently about $1.50?
Gardening is usually a money sink to get set-up, but can be done for cheap or even free. Once you start saving your own seeds it will be worth it.
But how do u plant them, how often do u water them do u bury them or grow them on the surface, how often do u fertilize them
Plant them a few centimeters deep, I only watered these once, then we got enough rain to keep them happy. Beans are SUPER easy to grow, one of the toughest plants out there. I only use my home made compost to fertilize, they really dont need much.
How do you encourage the most number of pods per plant?
Space them further apart for more sun, and use fertilizer.
Thanks wondering if I can eat them green because my soup mix beans are growing better than my green and yellow beans :)
Yes, you can eat them green, best when they are young.
@@GiveitaGrow thanks
Black bean would be good survival food. Protein, fiber, carb.
Black bean seeds are marketed as bush beans, but they do send out runners, and if given support will definitely grow several feet tall. Giving them support also prevents the plants from breaking over. On the whole, I would say you can't really go wrong treating them as a "short pole bean".
Great tip! I have never seen them get that tall, but a small stake kept them from getting blown over by strong wind.
That’s crazy, so then one plant produces about one cup? Which is like a serving of a pot, so it feeds for like one week or less. Thanks for the insight, it was educational :)

Hello Sir. Thank you for the great info. Quick question, are black beans a bush bean or a pole bean? You can tell I’m new at growing food 🙈😬
They are a bush bean, but I have still seen them vine out just a little.
Hmmmmm...very interesting! 🙂 How would you prepare black beans? In my country they are cooked with pork bones into a soup. They are also boiled until tender and then concocted into a kind of dessert called "Iced Kacang" or shaved ice beans.🍧 Just sharing! 😀
I boil them until soft and use them in Mexican cuisine, but I would love to try Iced Kacang. The beans smell like chocolate when they are done cooking so a desert could be fun to try.
Beans smell kinda gross to me when they're done cooking lol. You must have some awesome beans. I still love the flavor however.
My Brasilian MIL taught me: fry enough garlic to choke a horse in EVOO, add soaked/drained/picked blk beans, bay leaf, pork bone/bacon(fried), water, cook hours until soft. She also has a manual pressure cooker she cooks them in but never taught me to use 😭. I could cook 0 before she got ahold of me 🤣 classic American
Growing them for first time this year
Nice! Good luck!
can you make a video about different meals
Great idea!
The cuts to loud music in between your comments is really abrupt and overly loud. Otherwise loved the video
Thanks for the feedback.
👍

Gardening is not as much a numbers game as farming, it is more about learning, having fun and being healthy. Nice maths tho
@@GiveitaGrow Not my case thou. I'm preparing a good plot of land to go and live there indefinitely. Thus I'll need all production that I can.

I counted too
Nice!
Black beans aint climbers
They can climb a little.
