Worth the try!
I had never grown any kind of dry bean before. My zone is 5a and usually have a great growing season. This past summer, we had a lot of rain, maybe too much for these beans, as they seemed to lose their vigor too soon. I didn't plant many of the seeds, because I wanted to do a trial. Consequently, I ended up with a small portion of beans which were quite good - I love garbanzo beans in my salads. I plan on growing these again, and will make sure they are partially sheltered if we get too much rain.
