My daughter planted a dried bean and it is turning into a cute little bean plant. It was your basic red bean. We never grew anything but green beans in the past. Can I grow this in a container? Will we get more beans? |

That's Caz for you, always in there with lots of great information. That's why I call him and "Amusing Nut". I don't see why you couldn't. It's a great project for your daughter to undertake. Let us know how it progresses. One of my kids grew a little orange tree from a pip when he was young. He planted a few in one of my houseplants. He still loves to grow things. |

Ok.. Beans R beans... Is it an ornamnetal bean plant or an eatable bean plant ? Seems like a bean seed is a bean seed.. You may not get more plants from this seed / plant, but maybe from it's seed's U'll get plenty to re-plant next yr.. What's the differance from a bean plant/ pole or bush or red ?? or scarlet runner beans... One plant is one seed. My guess is that from this one plant U should get many / from it's seeds ... |

[COLOR="Green"] HI Kat!! Aare ye talking about the "red 'bean" that is dried and ye cook?? I've grown those fer projects before. They are fun! WE used to plant about 4 in a Qt jar. filled with wet paper towels. The bean is put against the glass and ye get to watch it sprout and grow. If it's put in a large enough container it should grow bloom and have a few bean pods. Then ye could plant those and watch them grow. A great thing fer kids and those of us who never really grew up too. What is it growing in now?? GOOD LUCK!! [/COLOR]

Yep Herby, it probably came from the supermarket. When I was a kid, we did the sprouting of lentils in wet cotton balls LOL |

I just sprouted my pole beans that way. A great gardener client of mine told me to do it that way. They just went in the pot, pot of soil that is... |
