They're really good for you, require very little effort in the storage department, and come in tons of exciting shapes, sizes, colors, etc. They grow like crazy around here and they don't seem to cross easily.

I mainly grow bush varieties. I plop the seeds in the ground, give them water once in a while, and then in late summer, I pluck all the dried pods off the plants. Very easy.

Oh, and I can squeeze 16 plants into one square foot, so that makes them very attractive for my limited gardening space.
