French green lentil
Each year I grow something new just to challenge myself. Usually, results are mixed and I am thankful for the experience. This year’s challenge is the green lentil. It is not a success, it is not a failure, it is just annoying. First, I didn't do my research. I figured lentils grew in long pods filled with several seeds. Nope, tiny pods and if you are lucky, inside you will find two seeds. Second, the pods split open and drop seeds before the pods go fully brown. So, I have a plant that is annoying and is now reseeding itself in two of my raised beds. Third, because of the small size, I need my reading glasses to check vines to harvest. Thank you green lentil for reminding me of my limited eyesight. Tonight, was my first night picking. 15 minutes in my garden wearing reading glasses for a total of 13 lentils. The vines are loaded so this night will be repeated multiple times before they are bare. I know I will enjoy a large pot of lentil soup this winter but tonight I say %$#@!! lentils
