401 - How to Grow Chickpeas, Dry Beans, Edamame, and More (Grow Your Own Protein, Part 2)

Is it possible to grow protein-packed vegetables in your garden? In this episode, we break it down for you! Building on last week’s conversation with Dr. Vickie Petz Kasper about the importance of plant-based proteins, I’m sharing which crops are worth your time, space, and effort.

We’ll cover:

• Dry beans like pinto, kidney, and black beans
• Shelling beans such as black-eyed peas and lima beans
• Chickpeas, lentils, edamame, and more

Discover the growing requirements, space needs, and harvest realities of these crops to decide if they’re the right fit for your garden. I’ll also share my honest take on which ones I recommend skipping and how to get the most from the ones you do plant.

Plus, don’t miss the details about my live Winter Workshop on January 21st, focusing on seed starting and planting. Learn more and register at journeywithjill.net/winterworkshop.
