One day I was innocently sprouting lentils and decided to add a few chickpeas. Chick, peas. Look what happened:<\/p>\n

\"Bag<\/p>\n

Day 1: <\/strong>Bag of La Macarena brand garbanzo beans, from local “super maya” in Cobano. In a bowl, cover 1\/4 cup beans with 2+ inches of water and soak in refrigerator for about two days. Cover bowl with a plate so freaky refrigerator juices don’t leak in.<\/p>\n

\"Small<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Day 3<\/strong>:
\nDrain beans and rinse.\u00a0 Return beans to jar and secure top with breathable fabric (toilet paper, cheese cloth, etc.) using rubber band.\u00a0 Set jar at a steep angle, top face down, so water slowly drains out.\u00a0Rinse in strainer or colander each morning and night, and repeat. Pictured above-right: my sprouts after about 5 days<\/p>\n

\"Several<\/a><\/strong>
\nDay 8: <\/strong>Plant sprouts 1-2 inches deep; 3-4 beans per bag. Lots of sun and water. Pictured left: the babies (“Day 13”)<\/strong> <\/strong>in temporarily plastic bag-pots after about six days in soil.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Day 15: Transplant<\/strong>
\nProvide about 1 foot diameter around each plant. Apologize to plants if\/when roots break off while transplanting.\u00a0Here they are after about two days in the ground (Day 17<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

(Image of garden coming soon — pictured right)
\nWe expect that each plant will grow to the size of a small bush.\u00a0 After 90-120 days<\/strong> they should be ready for harvest, which you can do by pulling out the entire plant letting is dry out itself, or harvest individual beans while roots are still intact. Then, make falafel<\/a>.\u00a0 Shanti shanti shanti. <\/em>Peace peace peace.
