    Were they relatively easy to grow? I might want to give it a shot if they are

      Beans are the absolute easiest! They come in two main types: bush beans and pole beans. Bush beans ripen all at once on short little plants. Pole beans ripen gradually and want to climb something. They don’t need fertilizer and in fact they add nitrogen to the soil making it even more fertile for your next plants! I friggin love beans. This past two days on Lemmy has been awesome

      These really have been pretty easy to grow. I didn’t really know much of anything about these beans before I was given them, and as an other commentor mentioned, the different types of beans, these must be the kind that bushes because they didn’t need anything to climb anything. I did add my homemade compost the soil though, because I reuse the dirt every year.

        That’s the best! Free heirloom seeds. Now you get to pass them on too! Seeds are so fun. Are those Blue Lake?

          I really don’t know the type. The library sees bank gets different types of seeds every month and I don’t always look at what kind they are. I also don’t label everything because I enjoy the surprise lol I will save some for next year though.
