Black beans can be any one of a number of varieties but I guess Black Turtle is one of the better known. Don't know about where you are but here in Australia you can grow the dry beans you buy for eating. That's how I started growing both Pinto and Borlotto beans. For some reason, beans for eating are a lot cheaper than beans for sowing, so why not use some of your eating beans to grow a crop.
