Dry bean yield?

[waltercervantes]

I've been searching around in books and on Google to see if I can get a good estimate for dry bean yield, either per plant or per pound seed. Does anyone here have that data from their own gardens?

I usually get thirty quarts to the garden of green bean..

Google translate and a calculator handy ?

I never measured. It's not a whole lot compared to the size of the plant and space it takes. My opinion anyway.

Lord yes. The lima beans in particular take up a massive amount of space and take forever and a day just to get maybe a quart of the shelled beans.

Shelling is a chore too. I like those big Italian beans, kinda mottled maroon, big as a kidney bean. Make cold bean salad, lots garlic Now a few specialty beans, cool. I did live in Maine 10 years, was a farm in Dexter sold beans, same kind as this site. I recommend trying, love the soldier beans, yellow eye. These are the best beans ever. Heirloom Beans, yellow eyed beans, soldier beans, dried beans

I buy a pound or two of yellow eyes a year for cooking (not growing). To me they are almost black-eyed pea like in their texture. Can't get them around my town anywhere that I know of. I usually pick them up at a farmer stand or the other I go to up around the blue ridge parkway.

Yes close but I believe a firmer bean, like more fiber. Soldier beans very good too and similar. They can always be ordered from several places.

I see them in seed catalogs but I like mushier beans because they do better with making the pot broth-y. the red and white lima beans are the only ones I fool with from time to time as far as growing as i can run them up and along a fence without the deer being able to do much real damage to them.

Yup, mushier makes a brothier soup. Made "frioles charros" It's a Mex bean soup, I use small navy beans for that, passilo, onion, bacon, some dry NM chillies, very good especially in this kind of weather. We like limas too.
