    2025 Little Easy Bean Network - Growers Of The Future Will Be Glad We Saved

    as i was shelling out some Purple Dove beans last night (after doing a different box of mixed beans with much tougher pods to shell) i was thinking i should try to make a short video of that since they are so easy to do in comparison - except i don't have a stand or tri-pod for the camera and...

    stubbed toes and mud pies

    working on another garden to get it put up for winter, dug a double wide (two shovel widths) trench for garden debris and then decided to double dig one more trench down because the ground is so compact under all of these gardens (once you hit the subsoil it's really hard to get a shovel through...
