PS: Detected mold on one of the sprouted beans. Put it in a glass of water over night and will plant it tomorrow. Let‘s see if it survives. #pulsesincrease #increaseCSE #citizenscience
After getting just 2 plants from 18 #increaseCSE #beans, I put some beans from last year‘s harvest in a box with wet kitchen paper. Now, 17 days later I had to remove three beans due to mold infection but the others are sprouting!
I had put one bean in a glass of water. It sprouted quicker and I stuffed it into a pot with a tiny physalis. Today it broke through!
These beans are not easy to grow and I am lacking two other beans from #pulsesincrease round 1 but I won‘t give up!
Ein Drittel der Tomaten, die Hälfte der Paprika und die beiden Bohnen sind jetzt gepflanzt. Wünscht ihnen Glück, viel Sonne und besseres Wetter als die letzten beiden Jahre! #gärtnern #gemüseanbau #selbstversorger #gardening #vegetablegardening #pulsesincrease #increasecse

Ready to send and share beans for Round 5, 2025, CSE experiment participants🤗
Happy to see that #pulsesincrease project left X last december
Pity they created bsky account as substitute
Still a lot to work as they still are in fcbk, insta and so...
Anyway, running into Next #pulses season, and part of the community, this time sharing pulses for others to grow 🌱
@drupas @echopapa The Greek variety #00445 has gorgeous pink flowers and it's climbing to over two metres high (searching for the sun, no doubt 🙄), but no pods yet. September can often be nice, but tonight temperatures are forecast to drop to 2°C, so I have covered some of the plants with fleece 🤞Also 'harvested' and cooked 3 small pods of the Mexican variety, but compared with my Jersey bean pods (tunnel) not great in terms of flavour/texture #pulsesincrease #bohnen #beans #legumes

#pulsesincrease #pulses #experiment #increase

As I had not many plants I let all pods to full maturity, and now I will try a bit o each in a dish, still thinking on how to cook them.
I want to prevent parasites growth, so I will freeze a few seeds for about 24h for next season.

How are yours @sabinehiller @echopapa ?

@sabinehiller

Gadenstedter Omabohne bean and 483 bean from Croatia are in a race. Both are now just under 1.90 metres tall

Still all emerged beans are ok. But Austrian 00463 is 100% fail.

#pulsesincrease #experiment it can be tricky to take the pictures against the checker, I have to protect the plots from my dog, surrounded by sticks and fences😅.
Also willing to watch the #documentary to be aired on #ARTEchannel #ARTE https://www.pulsesincrease.eu/news/arte-documentary-superfood-beans-featuring-increase-preview-at-long-night-of-science-in-halle
