Well, this might be an exercise in futility. I put out some old black turtle bean seeds today. I'm a little late. It is unlikely that these plants will reach maturity before frost hits, but the stubborn optimist in me says, "Let's give it a go!" At the very least they'll make a nice cover crop.
Black turtle beans are native to Mexico. Typically eaten as dried beans, they are delicious in soups, burritos, and other dishes. This variety produces a small bean with nice flavor. Harvest when leaves are falling off and have lost most of their color.
Grow fast, bean plants!
