Organic Anasazi Beans
These beans are said to have been grown by the mysterious Anasazi Culture. The word "Anasazi" being a Navajo word which translates as either "ancient ones" or "ancient enemies". Claims have been made that the beans can be dated to 1,500 years ago through carbon dating. Much mystery surrounds the origins of this variety of bean!
One thing for certain, they will not disappoint! They are the best dried bean I have ever had! They are also excellent as a snap bean. (cooked like green beans) When eaten dried they have a much sweeter flavor, creamier texture and easier digestibility than other varieties of bean! (Less cooking time, and Less Gas! ;) They have numerous health benefits and a strong nutritional profile. Far too many benefits to sum up here, but if you want to learn more about them you can start with Dr. Axe Here
If you have had any experience with growing these beans I would love to hear about it below!

Legumes in general are hardy and resistant too cold... I have some heirloom peas grown in my garden and you plant them in November/December to harvest in May.
I'll drop some pics when they grow up a little bit :)
I look forward to seeing the various plants you may be growing! Do you know how your climate might compare to here? Like, we can generally begin planting the end of april beginning of may outside.
I'm in Mediterranean, but my local climate is semi-Alpine, which means that season is slightly shorter than in the South. Overall, RH and annual precipitation are higher, however that's been changing.
We plant practically all year as some vegetables are hardy enough to survive cold winters. For example, I planted garlic one week ago and before we planted taccole (Pisum sativum macrocarpon), salad, cauliflower, fennel and cabbage in November.
If I had a greenhouse, I could actually plant much more like many people do, but without it I have to wait till March/April to start herbs, onion and stuff like that.
