Some beans prefer different growing conditions than others, so if you (or anyone else reading this) haven’t grown dry beans before, I’d recommend getting several varieties and growing them to compare.

Some variety is good to have, anyway. I have seeds for about 14 different kinds of beans right now, and I have a list of which ones might cross with each other. Last year I tested my runner beans and popping chickpeas. This year I’ll be testing the limas, hyacinth beans, and nunas.

Ellendra, though hyacinth beans are lovely to behold, they can be toxic.
