Thank you for watching. Plant propagation is way easier than most people think. If you want to propagate just about anything, check out my book "Free Plants for Everyone" here: amzn.to/2YiGHtP If you are interested in monetizing your passion for plants by starting your own home plant nursery, you should enjoy my book on the topic - check it out here: amzn.to/38uwRXu Get my free composting booklet: www.thesurvivalgardener.com/simple-composting/ "Compost Your Enemies" T-shirts: www.aardvarktees.com/collections/vendors?q=The%20Survival%20Gardener

Since i have started gardening.....i literally will grow everything that can grow just to watch it grow, its awesome

[@davidthegood]

I agree.

[@33fastcar]

DITTO!

[@18betz]

This was not only informative but funny. Thanks for posting

I am trying to grow sea bean in Pennsylvania! We’ll “sea” how it goes! 😁

[@47retta]

They make a most beautiful vine called "Jade vine", because it's flowers are colored turquoise.

[@davidthegood]

That sounds great. I recorded their progress today and will post on Monday.

[@aidancampos5706]

David, this bean that you have seems to be the species Mucuna Elliptica, within the same genus as the stinging velvet bean in your other video. Very awesome indeed.

[@kevinbrooker5279]

I grew an Entada plant once. They are legumes, so the pre-treatment you gave them was spot on. Rubbing them on sandpaper or a file works well too when breaking into the seedcase. Mine didn't last long as the climate was too cold. But, as luck would have it I live in the tropics now and picked up a few seeds for my local beach today. Thanks for the video mate.

[@davidthegood]

Congratulations on the good find! And you bet. I start almost all of my leguminous trees the same way, via nicking and soaking. Hasn't failed me yet.

[@juguruteacher6204]

I can't wait to get my food forest growing and producing properly. Still learning lots. Would be nice to just grow some random stuff and see what happens!

[@BatyAlquawen]

Thanks David!

[@33fastcar]

I've found a bucket full of sea beans in the last 40+ years. I can be at the beach within 2 hours by car. I was looking at a sea bean today and realized I have NO CLUE what kind of tree it comes from, how do I grow this big damn seed? I searched on YT & found your video first. Let's see what happens with my big beans... I'll report back if it works! I have a garden I work on everyday for fun. Half the stuff I grow are things I don't eat. It goes to my neighbors or my wild deer friends. I do it because I'm retired & love playing in the dirt to pass time... Thanks hoss!

[@teekotrain6845]

See u in a year

[@davidthegood]

That is cool.

[@NoNORADon911]

Whats the update?

[@CaptTurbo]

Sometimes I feel like a sea bean adrift in life. Where will I end up? ;)

We would like an update on the sea being growth if you have it please

[@matthew_harris]

Any follow-up on this video? It's been like 5 years, what happened with the plants? We often find these beans here in South Florida and always wondered what they turned into...

[@1jwiz]

I'm would very much like you to follow that bean back in time across the water (you never know it may have been at that party in Jamaica a while back), through the sea of time to where and when the ritual took place that caused said bean to enter the water. Just a thought but would help my understanding.

[@galvestonbeachcomber1180]

Awesome!! I have done some myself. They got really big but they never went to seed and then died in the winter.

[@charlescarabott7692]

I bought some seeds that look some like yours. The name of my seeds is Entada Rheedii or african dream bean which going by the name i would think will make one dream a lot if eaten.

[@rexlegacy7955]

It's actually the same thing, they just go by sea beans

[@steveortez2613]

Wow I've been looking for a sea bean by the name MUCUNA BENNETTII

[@aidancampos5706]

STEVE ORTEZ The flowers of Mucuna Bennettii are a beautiful red orange color!

[@anitapaulsen3282]

I look forward to seeing how they turn out

[@davidthegood]

I'm going to plant them by a tree today - they're getting big already.

[@davidthegood]

Posting an update on Monday, too!

[@benoitmolherat6659]

@@davidthegood Which video is it ? I'm just find out your technic today and started the process, can't wait ! Thanks so much!

[@lschoenrank]

Did you ever do a follow-up on these?

[@catherinem7441]

Any updates? Thank you

[@ZE308AC]

have you tried grwoing the heart shape sea bean?

[@fionacate4386]

Any update what do they look like now

[@ricsseashells414]

can you make a video update on the sea beans please?

[@NoNORADon911]

Sea bean! Sea bean!

[@eastindiaV]

Wait how would they how gotten here if they dont float

[@sudhirdhabale1383]

What is the use of sea beans will somsone tell me.

[@raphlvlogs271]

can you prune them to grow in to trees instead of vines?

[@davidthegood]

I doubt it. They are super vigorous climbers.

[@trey2099]

Who doesn't like spreading their seed across the world? They should be called Genghis Khan Beans.

[@davidthegood]

Nice

[@StvrPlay]

👍🏻

[@melovescoffee]

Ohh those are cool looking! No eats? No eats.... You could make acorn puppets with your children, instead of acorns. :D

[@davidthegood]

They're not edible, apparently, but they're so beautiful I can't help but grow them. Puppets are a great idea. I already made them a simple mancala board.

[@MaruAdventurer]

Would make perfect eyes for a tropical snowman!

[@davidthegood]

Hehheh

[@ChristineLV]

So, do you know the fruit of the sea bean? Are they edible? What do they look like? Or - are you holding back so you have another topic for a video, hmmmmm?

[@davidthegood]

It's not useful for any edible or medicinal purpose, so far as I know - and nailing down the exact species has proven impossible to me thus far; however, I am going to grow them and see what they do. For science!
