I tried to grow bean plants specifically for producing dried bean seeds for eating, both outside and in the polytunnel. But in the climate of Ireland, a few key factors make it more difficult to produce a good crop.

0:00 Storable vegetable protein
0:48 Beans in Ireland are tough
2:30 Climbing beans outside
3:42 Results outside
5:11 Climbing beans in the polytunnel
7:00 Runner beans in the polytunnel
8:27 Climbing beans in the polytunnel
9:34 Probably better to buy in
11:57 Next year
