Surya Chauhan –
They didn’t grow as tall as I had hoped, and the beans were smaller than I expected. However, the plants were easy to care for and produced a decent amount of beans. I’ll probably try a different variety next time.

These black-eyed beans from mtseeds were a great purchase! Seeds germinated quickly and grew into strong and healthy plants. I was amazed at how many beans each plant produced. The beans were tasty and perfect for soups. Highly recommended!
