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!

Ready to send and share beans for Round 5, 2025, CSE experiment participants🤗

4 Kraft paper envelopes with handwritten codes , and four glass containers with a few different bean seeds in, corresponding to the codes written in the envelopes.

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

Greek climbing bean #00445 with pinkish flowers

#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 ?

4 plastic recipients, 1 yellow, 2 transprent, 1 blue and white, containing dry beans of different varieties each. there's a yellowish small variety in the yellow recipient, a pinky and dark-red-spotted in one transparent, a very small white in another, and a deep purple-almost black in the last

@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

@sabinehiller

It's quite wet this year, so less watering necessary, but slugs everywhere.

The German 02676 (Gadenstedter Omabohne) and 00230 South American Tacoyunya grow fastest and had best emergence.

But no emergence at all with Austrian 00463.

In this bed climbing beans are always growing better than the bush beans, don't know why.

#pulsesincrease #legumes #beans #bohnen

@echopapa looking great! Yours are much more advanced than mine - clearly better weather where you are ☀️ I suspect some of my varieties will turn out not to be suitable for the West of Ireland. However, my Mexican bush variety 00260 and the German pole 00164 look promising 🤞💪🤞 The Greek and the Brazilian ones are at death's door... 😩 From what I've read elsewhere, it is common that the odd variety may not germinate at all (for me it was variety 10230) #pulsesincrease #legumes #beans #bohnen

@echopapa @drupas took this pic of one of the #pulsesincrease beds today. Had sown D (French variety 'Marche des trois chenes'), but all ten seeds rotted away. Replaced it with a second row of variety F (Canario from Mexico) from my backup modules, though I will have to exclude that row from the experiment. The others are hanging in, but they haven't grown much in the last week or two...

@drupas
@sabinehiller

package arrived 1st of June.

Due to limited space only 4 plants of each variety. But the species are quite different:

"Gadenstedter Omabohne" is growing fast and has 100% emergence. But also a variety with no emergence at all after 4 weeks. The other 4 varieties in between.

Will see how well resowing will work.

Preparing the beans for a night in the fridge #pulsesincrease #increase #citizenscience

picture from above, a child counting beans on a white countertop, with a set of envelopes in row, with a code written un each envelope. The child is putting dry beans into glasses with the same code written, a different variety in each glass

They arrived!! :yikes:
Now let's see how they go. #pulsesincrease #increase #experiment #gardening

dark background, bottom of the picture is a series of 6 white envelopes with a different code each, and letters A to F handwritten in upper left corner. Upper part of the picture, two white cards with 1cm squares drawn, and two lines of squares painted in different colours. Also a little explanatory text for checking the content from envelopes against the squared colour codes.
