What Happens when You Plant Red Beans from the Grocery Store?

[@scrapykat3028]

We did a calculation on how many plants needed to make one meal. We figured 6 plants produced 2cups of beans =one meal. For sustainability you’d need about 800 bean plants for a years worth of beans to eat once or twice a week depending on your family size.

[@scrapykat3028]

Green beans to can you need less, but figuring what your family eats per week will let you know how many of each plant you will need for sustainability. This goes for tomatoes and what you use/week; i.e. tomato sauce, salsa, ketchup, hot sauce, etc. Growing potatoes and yams and other root crops are good for long term, but can you store them or can them??

[@BroussardHomestead]

Thanks so much fro the additional info

[@thankfulheart4606]

I planted some dry pinto beans, store bought. Had great success AND discovered my favorite green beans are fresh snapped pinto beans before the beans mature! Great vid!

[@BroussardHomestead]

Thanks!

[@RagnaroksHomesteading]

I was always under the misconception that store bought beans couldn't be planted! I never experimented. Thanks for this enlightening info! I also agree with your statement about prepping & sustainability. That's why my definition of prepper incorporates alot more than most.

[@BroussardHomestead]

I think most of us have believed that store bought beans wouldn’t germinate. It seems to be going quite well

[@herbertgoldenboy]

Wow red beans I love vegetables very healthy thank you for sharing this Vlog more Vlog keep safety GODBLESs you my new friend broussard homesstead

[@MsLippy]

Beans are doing well Yall. Much Blessings on your harvest

[@pinetreehill586]

This is a great video, Brett! Got to have the red beans for Red Beans and Rice!

[@BroussardHomestead]

You know it!

[@DebbiesHomeplace]

New friend here, I'm debs. I have never thought top plant store bought beans but I'm interested in seeing how it goes. Love red beans and rice and always keep some roux in the fridge for gumbo and other Louisiana good eats that I like to make. The garden area is very nice. The marigolds look lovely!

[@BroussardHomestead]

Thank you very much! I believe Cajun food is the best on the planet, but I am a little biased 😆

[@Duncan1900Homestead]

Those beans are looking great. We're about to get our first heavy frost Sunday night. Which is a little late this year, but I won't complain about that.

[@MBHeritageFarms]

Cool beans lol, yall have a great week

[@BroussardHomestead]

😆

[@thomasthibedeau8900]

New friend here. I'm in NW Arkansas. Love your raised bed. I do that here cause of a mole problem here. Little critters do so much damage but I found a way around it here.

[@BroussardHomestead]

We just started having moles a couple years ago, but the main reason for our raised beds is bad clay soil. Thanks for coming over!

[@SeanInAlaska]

It will be cool to see what you harvest on those beans. I have always wondered if the yield we worth the space required to grow them, for a home garden anyway lol

[@BroussardHomestead]

I’m so eager lol

[@aliciadeffes9959]

How did they turn out??

[@BroussardHomestead]

They made quite well. We ended up harvesting while sick with Covid so we didn’t video it

[@auntdello5286]

@@BroussardHomestead So sorry to hear about y'all getting the big 19! Glad to see y'all still with us. Can you share a few details about the bean harvest, please? How long it took planting to harvest? Ect.. Thanks

[@annbeck7847]

Do the beans need a climbing thing? Yes I’m as green as Gumby when it comes to this. Any recommendations on this subject for dummies😊?

[@BroussardHomestead]

Some beans are bush beans and some are pole beans. It’s hard to know which variety they are unless you buy from a seed store.

[@annafontenot8914]

Where are you in Southwest Louisiana? I'm in Moss Bluff

[@BroussardHomestead]

Lacassine area

[@tonyalogan3535]

I did field peas and they are looking good

[@BroussardHomestead]

How cool!

[@shayb3733]

I guess store bought beans are bush variety? I’m in South Louisiana and I’m gonna plant some over the weekend.

[@BroussardHomestead]

I can’t say that they all are. But these were. We are in southwest Louisiana near Lake Charles

[@aliasmom4475]

soak overnight to rehydrate before planting

[@wealthNwisdom63]

Actually just put them in a sandwich bag with a moist napkin

[@drewbattaglia2654]

How well are the strawberries doing? I see they are out in full sun. Don't they get burned up?

[@BroussardHomestead]

They do well as long as the wild rabbits stay away

[@peterkettler2070]

Jack gets jealous??? just throwin it out there...LOL....God Loves YOU...

[@BroussardHomestead]

😆

[@fromkateskitchen7152]

Cool video. I must try this ... soon. Thanks for the share.

[@BroussardHomestead]

Thanks Kate!

[@rublehead]

He's legit I grew 10 beans every one survived yes it's real cropping and right pruning will double that

[@SouthernBlessedHomestead]

Cool for beans from the store to grow! Does it really get cold there? 😉

[@BroussardHomestead]

Usually not too cold but the weather is changing

[@annbeck7847]

Do you grow Creole tomatoes?

[@BroussardHomestead]

We aren’t growing any tomatoes this year

[@vanbiakthawnglian7533]

I want to plant red bean but i dont have red bean

[@thetachi136]

Are you from the Lake Charles area?

[@BroussardHomestead]

Yes. We are about 20 miles east of Lake Charles

[@thetachi136]

Yes sir!

[@arthurleslie9669]

As crazy as the weather has been, those eggplants may just surprise you.

[@BroussardHomestead]

This is true

[@KlingonPrincess]

Best point, made well - prepping is for short term, sustainability is the goal

[@BroussardHomestead]

Amen

[@christiebetts4970]

My question would be if the seeds from the grocery are hybred and what you would actually get? But hey if you're hungry and can't find seeds...

[@BroussardHomestead]

That’s a good question

[@baneverything5580]

Most beans are heirloom.

[@catfishinpappy1591]

Southern boy Prepper sent me 🙂👍🏻

[@BroussardHomestead]

Welcome!

[@AshtonCowsert]
