There are better uses for your gardening time with a small garden. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83005788 That's for sure. If you try backyard farming, raising beans isn't the only thing you will be doing. You will be saving 5 bucks many times a day. You will be gaining important lessons about how to do these things. You will be working your soil/garden. (these things take time) You will, step by small step, become more independent and resourceful. Each time you walk in the door with something made from nothing... you will feel good about yourself. You will be adding to the gross national product. Think of the greenness of the lack of transportation needed, the lack of bad chemicals needed, the lack of packaging needed. You won't be doing rotten things like playing computer games or larping on the internet You will be getting nice fresh air, sunshine and exercise You will be eating organic food A lot of great food for thought here. I live in town atm with a small back yard. I work an extremely busy and stressful job which sent us home to work for about a year and a half during the china virus. So I started growing some stuff in containers during that time. I'm on my second year and have learned a ton. One huge lesson is that it can be a lot of work for not a lot of reward. The reward is in learning, for now. I can't wait until I have more room to till and grow in the ground. |

I actually grow them out front as part of the landscaping because the foliage of peanut plants is so pretty. Okra looks beautiful too out front. Goodbye, halcyon days...

There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83962627 Every time you cut green onions, the next generation grows thinner, because it has to come up inside the previous ring. I have a similar problem with a linden tree that was weak and fell in a storm, I had it cut to a stump and now am trying to regrow the stump, not to waste that huge root system that's still alive. Well it's grown for 2 years now and has multiple shoots 6 or 8 feet tall, definitely linden because of the leaves, but I have to treat them like vines because they never get more than a centimeter wide. I think the problem is that the new tree is supposed to widen out, and these are constricted at the base by the old dried wood of the stump. |

User ID: 83997421 United States 09/27/2022 11:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Can a bag of supermarket pinto beans grow in a garden? Gardener Scott shows the results of planting generic beans from the store. Quoting: sseess [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] but are they GMO? no, they are not GMO. They may be too old, and will have bad germination rate. Or, if you use something that is not a product of USA they may be irradiated. Everything else grows just fine Current state of affairs: "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

Plant the end of a bunch of celery that you cut off and throw away. Plant the stub of a bunch of romaine or green onions, etc. I start mine in a glass of water first and plant in dirt when the roots appear.

And you have to put gas in your car to get there. And you have to dress up, and maybe be coerced to get a vax LOL. And you have to hire a babysitter. And deal with the office politics. Or you might have to deal with (gasp) the public. Beans are taken for granted. Has anyone ever read the book "The Good Earth"? It's fiction. But in that book a family fights over a single bean. Because hunger can get that bad.

So, expanding your back yard to grass farming (say, putting some animals on grass) is a great idea. You will still want to have a garden though. The animals make the manure and the garden grows better. You will want a cat to kill the rodents and birds so that you have some plants foods for yourself.
