I Planted Supermarket Beans (AND THIS HAPPENED)

We did the same this year for the fun of it. Black-eyed peas and black beans. Both grew.

I am going to use the store beans as a cheap cover crop this winter. They also add nitrogen as they grow. Then till them under in spring.

But did he taste them?

NEVER buy garlic that doesn't have the roots attached. The ones where the roots are off are chinese garlic that is grown in human shit piles. (human waste compost)... Public service announcement.

I planted cheap supermarket green onions in some good soil because they started going bad. They became huge and I’ve gotten tons from them from the last two years.

He gets 3x the amount of beans by planting them. Planted 100gm beans, ends up with 300 (plus).

Now imagine corn... 1 kernel equals up to 100. Nowhere near the protein, but many more calories.

Need both.

.

I always let a portion of my green beans go to seed.

There are no GMO bean species, but a TON of hybrids. If you plant beans, it is best to go with an OP variety. Safe to say that not many if any grocers carry heirloom varieties.

I planted some lemon and orange seeds from grocery store fruits while back. I knew that they wouldn't come true from seeds because most Citrus are grafted, but they did start fruiting after about 6 years (SE Texas). While it wasn't the same fruit, but it was delicious citrus never the less. Have been making all sorts of from candy to scrubs, juicing, pectin for jams and natural cleaner.


For your GMO info: These are currently GMO products.
1. Corn: as in corn oil, cornmeal, cornstarch, corn syrup, hominy, polenta, and other corn-based ingredients
2. Canola: as in canola oil
3. Cottonseed: as in cottonseed oil
4. Sugar Beets: as in “sugar” in an ingredient, which is almost certainly a combination of sugar from both sugarcane and GM sugar beets
5. Soybeans: as in soybean oil, soy protein, soy lecithin, soy milk, tofu, and other soy-based ingredients
6. Alfalfa: which is fed to livestock
7. Apples: which will be arriving in some stores this year
8. Papaya: from Hawaii and China
9. Potatoes: which were sold in 10 states last year and will be sold in a larger number this year
10. Yellow Squash
11. Zucchini

and Purple Tomatoes (expected in 2023)

I would like to try this!

Since it is going to take some time, what sort of citrus seems the most useful? A regular lemon?

Can this be accomplished in the north (by taking the small tree indoors in winter?)

I'm sure you meant one cob?

One kernel would equal maybe 2 ears of corn. lol

Forgot about soybeans, but as far as I know that is the only GMO bean out there.

Grafting does not change the genetics of the citrus, only provides it a rootstock. Most citrus are hybrid varieties so any seed will be like one of the parents.

Real easy to do with popcorn.

Roundup ready soy will produce beans that germ and will likewise be roundup ready, for generation after generation.

Not heard of pinto beans before, that I can recall.

Yeah I don't fall for that shit

I planted a dozen fresh eggs last year and I got nothing

Nadda

ever had Chili?

From Spring to Fall nearly every time I cook a bag of dried beans (various types) I plant a handful of them and they always grow enough for at least one or two more batches of cooked beans. I've grown all kinds of veggies from scraps as well, right now I have several little lemon trees I grew from seeds out of a store bought lemon. Why not make the most of the money you spend at the grocery store?

I did that, too.

Just bury the scraps in the garden and compost right there.

This is the book my grandmother had about it:

How to Have A Green Thumb Without an Aching Back

I did Oranges, Lemons, Kumquat and Tangerines. The Tangerines and Kumquats fruited first, the Kumquats are the smallest, so I'd say, both are suitable for containers. Lemon probably too.
Make sure you buy overly ripe fruits for that purpose. I bought all fruits at a Mexican store.

Not in the video. I bet they are good.

Thanks for the info!
