    I have been growing decorative curly beans with red flowers for a long time, and last year a white-flowered one appeared on my site. These bushes quickly braid a chain-link fence, bloom beautifully, and even the most exquisite roses can envy their aroma. Before sowing in the garden, I soak the seeds for two hours in a solution of HB-101 (1 drop per 0,5 l of water). Then I moisten a cotton cloth in honey water (0,5 tsp of honey per 1 tbsp of melted water), wrap the seeds in it and put it on a shelf above the kitchen hood for germination, where it is warmest. A day later, when the beans are hatched, I sow them in well-loosened soil, seasoned with double superphosphate (a matchbox per 1 sq.m of beds) and well-rotted humus (0,5 buckets per 1 sq.m).
    Last year, we managed to collect an unprecedented crop of ornamental beans. Beans are slightly smaller than those of vegetable varieties, but bright and beautiful. I wonder if they can be eaten?

      Ornamental bean flowers are not only red, but also white, pink or two-tone. These varieties are no different from red-flowered beans in their biological properties, so they can be grown as annuals throughout the middle lane. Ornamental bean seeds are edible and can be used as food, just like regular vegetable beans.

    Indeed, beans are an extremely useful culture. It contains B vitamins and amino acids necessary for the human body. So isn't it time to get her on your site?

    There are very few articles about beans, but in vain - the plant is useful! She can easily compete with meat in terms of protein. I have been growing this crop for over 20 years, so I have my own seeds. Previously, there were both climbing varieties and bush varieties, but gradually left only the latter: they are easier to care for.
    Around the middle of May, I pour the beans into a glass jar and fill it with water for a day. Then I rinse and transfer to a damp cloth.
    Make sure that the seeds do not dry out and do not rot.
    The sprouts began to hatch - it's time to plant. The distance between rows is 40-50 cm, and between the beans - 15-20 cm, planting depth is about 3 cm.
    I water the seedlings, field, loosen, feed with ash, superphosphate and fermented grass. Grown bushes can already stand up for themselves and do not require constant care.

    The beans ripen at the end of August. I pull out the yellowed pods along with the bush and take them to dry. Peeled beans store wonderfully in a glass jar, cloth bag or box.
