Strange beans?

writes:
This is my first year planting a vegetable garden and I am woefully
uninformed. I have planted beans (sorry I don't have the specific
kind) and they are just sprouting. I pick them and crack them open,
but there is a white spongy material inside the bean pod, around the
beans themselves.

Some beans have a material such as this inside them as they develop. It
would depend on how much you are talking about here. A little may be
natural and part of the variety; a lot might be something else entirely.
If you have a local county extension office, take some there and ask them
.. . . or if there is a reputable garden shop, ask them. (Or go to a
farmers' market and see what they have.)
