Germinating Popbeans
Terry
10 years ago
Hi, I'm trying my second year of Carol Deppe's Hannan Popbeans, a variety of garbanzo/chickpea that easily pops like popcorn. Has anyone had any success germinating them? Last year I pre-soaked them for about 24 hours then planted them, but nothing came up. Mind you, it was a very wet spring and I've heard that they don't like always-wet soil. So I wonder what I should try this year -- a shorter presoak of a few hours maybe?
Her seeds come with instructions to plant mid-March thru April but she's in Oregon so I don't know if late April is too early here in Eastern Ontario, where last frost is June 1st. Her instructions say the seedlings are freeze-hardy so I'm tempted to do it now. Any advice, please?
