6 hours ago by MsDebbieP | 2 comments »

I selected seeds that were “early” and “late” varieties ...

And can even be used as a dip. 1 large can of organic chick peas¼ small onion1 clove garlic Salt, pepper(lots) and butter to taste. Simmer the chickpeas, onion and garlic until warm and all liquid...
