@justin @scandigonian My friend was able to grow chickpeas in Olympia. I think it’s possible to grow them and lentils here – you just have to be on it with weeding.

Since they are so close to the ground, they also might be a bit harder to harvest than, say, wheat, which is something you can easily cut with a hand scythe or rice knife. The pods are throughout the plants, so you have to beat the entire bushes rather than with wheat, where the spikelets are easier to thresh (2/3).
