Unfortunatly, there is nothing to learn from this video. How many time a week to water them? When the pod becomes black, is it normal? When the stem become black, is it normal? Do we have to cut or pinch somewhere sometime to help its growth? ...etc

They have been around for way longer than medieval times. They have been recorded to be eaten for well over 2000 years.

this is great but can you dry out the beans and then plant them again?
