I thought of a bean you may like courtesy of my son in law who was born and raised in Rome. Lupini Beans are an Italian snack food. There is pre processing involved. I buy them in a jar full of beans and a brine solution. The way they are enjoyed is to spoon up a small bowl, go out on the patio, and pop them in your mouth one by one to separate the skin from the kernel with your teeth. Then discard the skin as you see fit 😅 Great source of soluble fiber (the truly good for you snack), Naturally slow food (you can't eat them by the handful) and inexpensive to make. "A relative of the wild lupine, lupini produces both beautiful flowers and large edible beans. Cultivated mostly in the Mediterranean, lupini can be a great choice for northern gardeners as well as it is frost tolerant. Give this unique plant a try!" Seeds can be bought online where you will also find instructions about preparation.
@@NearbyVeggies You bet! My pleasure. I love what you are doing You are so fortunate you found each other. In Italy, they are called Lupini Beans (right off the label) 😊 I found seeds by searching Lupini.
Your bamboo bean rig as they call them in Viet Nam is very nice. Growing your own bamboo can be a great aid in keeping your garden tidy. I love your seed drying rack. Just perfect! With bamboo in mind, you may want to build a bamboo shade house next year if you have some trunks that are several years old. A shade house would be a big help for your strawberries for instance. I have gotten reports that 40% shade cloth is not enough - so I'd recommend 60% and make sure you order white (not black) for obvious reasons. I suspect the beans from the grocery store were not less than one year old - so they had passed their best by germination date. But you did get enough (selected for your climate) for next springs planting so I call that a big success . What are your plans for the house? Are you planning to renovate a small portion so you can live on site? All the best!
We’re avoiding shade cloth and trying to use plants and trees for shade. We have good seed for next year. We will share the plans for the house soon. Thank you for all the great information 😊
@@NearbyVeggies You are most welcome. Sometime, in the first few years, a little shade cloth can be a big aid until a canopy begins to develop. Just as irrigation is essential for the first few years of a trees establishment. Once the tap root is down and the lateral roots are established, mulch becomes their best friend 😊
What a wonderful selection of beans! My fave recipe for black eyed beans is to boil, towards the end add celery or squash chunks, till cooked. Drain and add salt, and lots of lemon juice and olive oil. A great dish for Summer. Also chick peas go very nicely cooked with rice in the same pot, add a stock cube to the water. 🥰🌿🌷 Have a lovely weekend.
So amazing to see how far you guys have travelled. The garden is fantastic. Congratulations 🎉🎉hours of hard work is paying off. I can't wait for the house renovation to get underway. Anything you set your mind's to you follow through with the whole of your heart ♥ much love from Robin Hood County Nottinghamshire England. Maxine and family xx
Lemon Verbena, I found it here in 🇨🇦 and potted it up. What an amazing aroma and flavour. Unfortunately it's semi-tropical so it comes inside over the winter even on this temperate rainforest zone. I'm glad I found it, kept it thriving. Enjoy eating the bounty, it will be more nutritious and pleasant knowing exactly where it came from. Well done.
Cheerful! Kindhearted! Humble! Dedicated! Incredible! Caring and loving people you are !🙏 U might consider for next harvesting to use a big sheet fabric for treshing, also just cut whole plant and wrap in sheet, tresh smash and just collect the beans;)
You will enjoy those beans. It is a challenge to grow anything in 40 degree heat. Well done. I take the whole plant indoors and take the peas off it’s cooler that way. You realise how easy it is to go and buy a bag of beans and a tin of chickpeas!! There is nothing more satisfying than your own produce.
Here in the southern US we call them black eyed peas. You can cook them with okra in a pot and the okra is less stringy. Love black eyed peas and all beans. Especially pinto beans which is a staple in Texas. Hot sun needed. Enjoy your channel!
Now that is what you call a bean frame, it's mahoosive and does the job brilliantly as well as looking good. I lived what you're doing with the chickpeas as I did exactly the same two years ago with Black Turtle Beans. This years harvest has been superb, the beans being bigger, more uniform and more than plenty of them. I'm wondering whether it will be worth my while to have a go with chickpeas here in the UK. No harm in trying I suppose. All the best with your continued harvesting and all the work that you do. 😉👍🏼
We grew chick peas in the south coast of England but we had hardly any growing space and decided to grow high value perennial vegetables in the main and trial some unusual or supposedly difficult crops to grow. Always try things Owen, you often get a great surprise. 😊

So satisfying to watch the progress of your garden throughout the growing season!! Yum, butter beans are my favorite dried beans. 😋 😋 Such a pleasant texture and flavor in soups and stews!! But, don’t care for black-eyed beans (aka black-eyed peas in the USA)-they taste very bitter to me, no matter how they’re prepared.
Olá! You know so much about plants! I know video editing it’s a lot of work, but I would love to learn from you sowing times here in Portugal, to know when to do it in time! I had no luck with beans….
I have seen a device for shelling beans which is basically 2 rollers you pass the pods through that squeeze enough to open the pods and get the seeds out without damaging the beans. I think I prefer you way, though.
It was really hot, 43 degrees here at Baira Interior, but right now the first rain is coming up // Producing own seeds ist a very good understanding of living the nature //
Olá. Mais uma semana 😊. Que interessante saber os feijões se enrolam no sentido horário. Acho que deve não deve ser devido à força de Coriollis porque essa força só desvia os corpos para a direita no hemisfério norte se os corpos estiverem em movimento.
Thanks for fab video / not sure which way our beans grow here in New Zealand 🇳🇿 While you are having such hot weather we have so much rain too much rain from January 😫🤔🌺
The supermarket chickpeas were most likely hybrids that don’t recrop, you might try a pack of gardeners seed alongside your saved peas next year to see.
We are so looking forward to having our own place In Portugal. We love what you have done with your garden and are excited to see you now have permission to start renovations. We are coming to Portugal this coming week for our first visit to scope out the areas that would fit us best. We love the views you have. Any suggestions on good areas to focus would be much appreciated. Right now our main focus is inland with hills between Coimbra and Porto. Hope to meet you in person once we have a place there.
Thank you. Enjoy your visit and our suggestion is to keep an open mind and see what you see. Every area has its own special features. All the best with your trip. 😊
Hi, great video, love the puff of love plant..is that native to Portugal? See you pick bean brought memories of being young and helping my grandfather pick his beans…we would get an ice cream as reward 😊. As always I learn new things with you videos… I will be growing beans next year! Thank you for the inspiration and information. Stay well.
Great story about you and your grandfather. Thanks for sharing. Love in a puff is not native. It’s a tropical/ subtropical vine that won’t survive our winters.
Love watching you grow your vegetables! I have a garden too but have not tried growing beans! I’m inspired so will look for seeds to grow. Our weather in San Diego, CA has been very hot also. My strawberries did not do well this summer.
The both of you amaze me on how knowledgeable about plants you both are, I just know they are beans , but then, I am a city girl , born and raised in Lisbon, only spent my summers in the country . Keep up the hard work , and you make it look so easy.
We’re in what is known as Central Portugal. We can grow a huge range and variety of fruit and vegetables. It’s a bit cooler and wetter in the north but we are in the northern half of Portugal.
@@NearbyVeggies that’s good to know, thank you so much! We are looking at eventually moving to the central area around Castelo Branco, so that gives us hope🥰
I started learning Latin names many years ago because there is no confusion as to what the identity of the plant is. We all use common names in many different languages, but the botanical name in Latin is the same the world over. I don’t know all the names but I try and learn new names a little at a time. 😊
Do you have any garden trees that could provide enough shade for the strawberries? The edge of the forest would probably be the natural place for them but I suppose then the strawberries might all get eaten by wildlife rather than you :)
We moved them from under the trees where they were doing well but all eaten by wildlife 😂 I tried to keep them together with beans for shade but still not enough. I’ll put plenty around the trees in spring and eventually there will be enough for us and the birds. 👍
Can you explain that again. So french beens when u harvest it early its green, then they go dry what u had in your basket, and u can also eat them. So at the end of the video, which jar was the dry French beens in
The French beans that we showed were Cherokee Trail of tears. They are green when young and when dry, these are a black bean that we store in a jar to use later in the kitchen and plant in the spring. Beans turn into a different colour when dry and you get whatever colour of bean you planted (unless you get an accidental cross) I hope that’s useful. 😊
