For a beginning gardener, the term "bean" is an evil, awful, no good, very bad word.
It's just too vague.
What kind of bean? A green bean? A dry bean? A bean bush? A pole bean? A legume? Black beans or pinto beans or string bean?
Sure most of these probably have more in common than not. The dry beans probably have a lot in common with each other. But when the word is "beans", with no further explanation, I get stuck. Trying to figure out what different sources mean by "beans", especially when they have different conclusions, sucks.
Here's a wish that people think about being a little more clear.
