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

    Hello Everyone! I recently started a job at a non-profit in Michigan - H.O.P.E. Gardens (helping other people eat). I'll have one of the school gardens to manage and would love to get my hands on some interesting beans that the kids can help harvest, and perhaps some will end up in sensory bins...

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

    I very much would love to grow something out. I volunteer for a non-profit that puts gardens in schools in my city. I would love to be able to someday donate some "rainbow" colored beans for their gardens so the kids can have fun with them. Can you recommend some good ones that are red, orange...

    Tomatoes for 2024

    I'm afraid I did not document the date, but it was about a month ago. I used our compost. I started a new round with seeds of some additional varieties.

    Which Plant Do You Recommend Every Gardener Try Growing at Least Once?

    I agree with the beans idea. I think I'd suggest runner beans specifically. The bees love them and they are edible (in multiple stages). Not to mention, the dry beans and flowers are just pretty.

    One Alaskans greenhouse

    I vacationed in Alaska at the end of August/early September. It's beautiful. I was very curious about people's gardening habits with the daylight, etc. Fascinating! We just missed the county fair by a day or two.
