I've mainly been growing lettuces in my two hugel mounds with no plan for a succession crop. On Saturday, on a whim, I direct sowed about 40-50 each of dried black and pinto beans I bought at the grocery store. I didn't really know what to expect, but they've sprouted shockingly fast. So far 5 days on I count 18 black bean sprouts and 1 pinto.

I have no idea if these are bush or climbing varieties, but I would guess than large scale growers that supply supermarkets wouldn't grow pole beans. Right?
