I have sprouted beans and would like to plant them.
Do I put the sprouted part down into the earth?

Thanks, Susan, for info about site that gives

sprouting instructions.

No way of telling if beans used were too old.

Allowing light in is a No, No. Must be milky white just

like button mushrooms. The commercially produced

variety involves, I believe, soaking in water, hence

high water content and shutting off light.

Got my idea of growing my own from " Eating

Better For Less ", a Rodale Press publication.

Is it normal to keep them in the dark? I would have thought a growing plant needs light to synthesise energy. The long thin growth sounds like they need light - like the etiolated appearance of houseplants kept in too dark an area. Try bringing them out into the light after they have germinated.

Here's a link to a site for sprouts:

You might figure out what you are doing wrong or if it is the beans themselves that are too old. I used to make them years ago but don't remember much about it.
