Irina Mishchenko, 58 years old, Samara region
For some reason, I could not master the cultivation of beans for a long time. The process stopped at the stage of germination. Changed varieties. It turned out that everything is simple to the point of banality. The seeds were eaten by birds. Now I close them with agrofibre. Now I grow a useful product in my garden and freeze it for the winter. Most of all I like the Nota variety. Delicate green juicy fruits are very good for side dishes and in warm salads.
