 Lentil
Lentil is not very competitive (especially as seedlings) with many of the grasses and/or broadleaf weed species that infest farm fields, so weed control before planting and early in the growing season is critical.
Lentil is adapted to cool growing conditions, and the young plants are tolerant of spring frosts.
Lentil seed number varies from 15,600 to 100,000 seeds/lb.

 HowTo make Lentil Swirled Beads
While it is generally easier to hole prior to baking, it’s also easier to distort the nice round edges of the lentil shape.
To do that, while continuing to rotate, gradually tighten the rotations you’re doing while maneuvering the bead so the area where the pointy ends are located are directly on the top and bottom; slow down the rotation speed and keep tightening the rotations until the bead shape is where you want it.
The final (lower far right) is the lentil, made after slightly flattening the bicone points when rotating.

The marble molds can help you keep your ends round (for the two smallest marver impressions), and the button mold has the same exact size for the smallest lentil shape with a flat depression which can help you get a round shape before heating the bead and pressing it into the lentil marver.
A special marver has been made by Craig Millron of Arrowsprings, called the Osibin Marver, named after Kim Osibin who created this shape in her beads and inspired the creation of the marver.
Lentil stands for the word Lenticular - meaning the bead is shaped like a lens with a dome top on both sides of the bead with thinner edges surrounding the circumference of the bead.
