Beans are so cheap to purchase. I had a victory garden that was approximately 1/4 acre. It was a lot of work to till, plant, tend, weed, harvest, prepare and store the food. The best Lima’s I ever had came from that garden. I never stored dried beans and am sorry I didn’t. Just never had the time. One year the deer, turkey and raccoons cleaned me out. I sodded it over and never had another garden of that size. I have had raised bed gardens of various sizes and designs. I have the room on my patio for a nice potted garden....just haven’t committed to it. Thanks IL for sharing that.
