@kahaney52gmailcom , I hope that you're still around. If you decided the seeds probably were not good you can still possibly buy a small packet of bean seeds at your local Walmart, hardware store, or feed-and-seed store. Probably less than $2 for a small pack or the feed-and-seed store will sell you an ounce or a pound being as they may have them in bulk. Go with something that says "bush" in it's name or description as these won't wander all over the place with long vines but will grow more compact, well-behaved plants.

"Contender" is my favorite variety but there are many other varieties. I prefer the bush varieties. And, remember to pick them "young and tender"....if you wait too long they will/can get tough and develop "strings".

Here's a link to a list of the different beans: https://harvesttotable.com/bea...
