[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5099956, member: 20583"] If you're not afraid of losing a few dollars to an experiment, I'd say plant the beans. I broadcast beans & peas over one of my small plots in early spring and am amazed at how they've sprouted up & are growing strong. The knowledge that I can successfully frost seed broadcast beans & peas was well worth the experiment to me, even if they do get mowed down by the deer. I've never heard anybody ever say that frost seeding beans was a good idea, but I wanted to find out first hand. Now I just wait to see how long it takes before the deer nub them to nothing. Maybe beans can work in small plots. Everything I read & hear says no, but I wasn't supposed to get good growth from frost seed broadcasting, either. I've been finding through personal experimenting that a lot of stuff I read about food plotting is flat out bogus. There's an awful lot of good info out there, and there's an awful lot of false info out there. To be fair, I don't necessarily think any of it is truly false. I think people who share their experiences are truthful. The hick-up is that they may get completely different results than I get from the same project, be it due to any number of circumstances. That's why I try things for myself regardless what conventional wisdom says. Sometimes I fail. Sometimes I succeed. But at the end of the day I know for certain. [/QUOTE]
